Thumbs up for hiking up to Tom’s Thumb!

Join us for this iconic hike in the Phoenix area. A 4-mile out and back trail with 1,217 feet of elevation gain.

Bring 2 liters of water and snacks. Wear sturdy shoes with good tread as the trail is rocky and can be slippery in places. Hiking poles are highly recommended for this trail. They are useful in the steep areas, especially during the descent.

We will meet at the covered area next to the restrooms. Look for Karl’s bright green Osprey backpack.

Though there is a restroom, there is no drinking water here, so be sure to bring all you will need to stay hydrated with you.

We are happy to have you join our outings. Keep in mind Event Organizers are volunteers, not professional guides. You are responsible for yourself.

In signing up for any of our events, you are assuming responsibility for your own health and safety. We do our best to walk a comfortable pace and strive to not leave anyone behind. However, you must take responsibility for yourself by researching the hike/destination in advance and determining in advance if your body is up for the challenge; arriving on time; being prepared with adequate clothing for the conditions; wearing proper footwear; and most importantly, knowing and adhering to your own physical limitations.

We reserve the right to turn anyone away at the meeting point who shows up without the proper provisions. Please do not put yourself or others in a potentially compromising or dangerous situation by showing up unprepared.

That's it for the serious stuff. Let's get outdoors together!
