The Ascent to Tom's Thumb - Scottsdale, Arizona
Tom's Thumb Hike
My first hike to the summit of Tom's Thumb at the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. And also my first time using my GoPro Hero 3+ so please excuse all the shaking, head movement, the slant as I must have not had it on properly and overall amateurish feel of it. I am working on that and also getting another mount besides my head mount for hiking. But I do hope you'll enjoy the hike through my eyes :) Thank you!
Hiking Tom's Thumb Trail to Ogre's Den, McDowell Mountains
Situated in luxurious north Scottsdale, Tom's Thumb Trail is not long -- about two miles, one way -- but it packs a punch, at one point climbing 700 ft. in only ¾ of a mile. I was hoping to be at the Ogre's Den cave by sunrise, but the Tom's Thumb Trailhead gate did not open until 7:10. ???? Check out the interesting boulder formations! Blog, links & music:

The Scottsdale City Council on July 5, 2016 unanimously approved a $4 million purchase of the five-acre property — more than $1.4 million above the city's appraised value — including a provision in the contract allowing the seller to remain there for the rest of his life.
Shawn Murphy has owned the 2,600-square-foot house in north Scottsdale, near the popular Tom's Thumb Trailhead, since its construction in 1999, according to Maricopa County records. Located on a dirt road near 126th Street and Paraiso Drive, the house sits on a hillside, hidden from nearby trails by a towering boulder formation.

Scottsdale is a desert city in Arizona east of state capital Phoenix. It's known for its spa resorts and golf courses, including TPC Scottsdale. Farther north, trails wind through McDowell Sonoran Preserve, a desertscape of hills, rock formations and cacti. Nearby is Taliesin West, architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s former home and studio. Downtown's Old Town Scottsdale has 1920s buildings and 19th-century olive trees.
Scottsdale is home to many galleries, high quality resorts, and golf courses. It is also one of the wealthier parts of the Phoenix Metro Area. High end shopping destinations are one of the primary attractions of the city. For example, the Fashion Square Mall is near downtown Scottsdale and is one of the biggest malls in the United States. The extensive galleries to the west of the downtown also offer upscale shopping and strolling. The galleries in this area display works both from local artists and from around the world.
The Old Town section of Scottsdale is to the east of the gallery district. It showcases swanky upscale style as well as a caricature of the gruff American West. Well over half the shops are gift shops. However, it is fun enough for a browse in a Disneyland sort of way.
Both Old Town and Downtown Scottsdale possess an dazing array of bars, nightclubs, pool clubs and chic eateries. Nicknamed the Beverly Hills of the Desert, Scottsdale is second to none in terms of opportunity for high-end debauchery.
The valley of the sun has over 130 miles of canals. Most of them were built in the last 100 years to provide water for the irrigation of farm land. However, now that the valley is much less agrarian the canals are primarily used to carry away storm water. Some are also used to generate hydroelectric power.
These often overlooked gems are open to the public. One can take in the beautiful desert scenery and fresh air while strolling along them. They provide walkers, joggers, and bikers with a nice refuge from traffic. But don't try swimming in the canals, aside from being an obvious bad idea because the sides are so steep it is also illegal, along with motorized vehicles.
