Tom’s Thumb, located in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, is a popular hiking and rock climbing destination in the area.

This massive granite rock formation stands 200 feet atop a mountain ridgeline—standing out like a thumb.

It’s named after local rock climber, Tom Kreuser, who was the first to scale it and inspired many others to continually push their climbing abilities.
