T-H-U-M-B-S up for Katie O., Westchester County, N.Y., who tackled the steep five-mile roundtrip early-morning hike to Tom's Thumb in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, Scottsdale, Arizona, May 25, 2025. 👍🏜️ ✌🏼️

A herd of mule deer crossed the trail during the out-and-back route with 1,420 feet of elevation gain, high-pointing it to the base of that iconic 200-foot granite formation at 3,848 feet.

Did you know Camelback Mountain, 2,706 feet, is a geologic unconformity — a gap between different formations of rock? The spine and hump of the camel are made up of Precambrian granite, 1.5 billion years old, while the head of the camel is red sedimentary sandstone, 25 million years. 🐪🔙🌵

Good to know while hiking the most-famous natural landmark in Phoenix. Here Brooklynn P., Katrina and Sabrina, Washington, D.C., get traction on both types of rock on the highest peak in Phoenix.
