Tom's Thumb is a rather adventurous hike located in the McDowell Mountains northeast of Scottsdale. The hike is on the other side of the mountains it's a pretty rough road to get to the trailhead. Once on the trail there are boulders to climb, bushes to avoid getting scratched by and a trail that seems to disappear a lot. The trail is actually very makeshift in places especially once you get to the top of the mountains and are making your way toward Tom's Thumb. The view however is amazing and makes it all worth it. There's also a couple of neat little caves where large boulders hang or are supported up by other boulders. This is taken looking northeast from the Tom's Thumb which is the large boulder extending out of the left of the photo. It's stitched together from 9 photos originally.
