The symbol of Prescott, AZ, Thumb Butte is the iconic center point of the local skyline. Both paved and dirt trails lead to the saddle and offer great views of downtown Prescott. A much more technical path can take the more adventurous hikers to the summit where they will find truly beautiful views. Please note, this path is unmarked, uneven, and dangerous- proceed at your own risk. The summit is also closed part of the year for Peregrine nesting.

One of the best hiking experiences i’ve ever had. The 1st with the trail is pretty easy to finish but the 2nd part which leads to the top of the mountain is tough. You need to be careful. Stunning view is a nice reward.

Amazing hike, make sure you take the back way up it's so much more enjoyable. The views are awesome and right now it's not eagle mating season so the ascent is clear. It's 5$ for parking but they do take card there is also a bunch of mountain biking I would like to check out after the daily rain calms down. What are you waiting for get out and hike it!

Great area for hiking. Took trail 33 which is a couple of miles long with some steep sections but most of them paved. Paid parking in the National Forest service lot across the street. Beautiful area and on a weekday morning not at all crowded. Information on the hike is on the National Forest service website. There are a number of other hikes from the same starting point. Great spot
