Going up to my usual hiking trail of choice, Pinnacle Peak, I noticed a sign for Tom's Thumb Trail and decided to check it out at a later date. So glad I did, because this trail offers great views and a good workout.
I would recommend going in the morning or late evening especially in the summer...The hike is difficult, but worth it. The trail-head is very clean, there are restrooms (no running water), and a massive parking lot with a special designated area for horse trailers. Don't forget your water, and enjoy the hike :)
