You can explore your way to Thumb Butte via trail that is almost all the way paved .. the view is well worth it.

Thumb Butte from a Different Angle

One great advantage of being a mountain biker is that you get to see the backcountry and the awesome views therein. Here is Thumb Butte from "behind." In order to see it from this angle you must find the trail that takes you around a bend and Lo Behold - your eyes are wandering about the scenery rather than focusing on the trail itself. This is a panorama shot, which works great for the mountain range.(If you click on the picture, you'll see an enlarged version of the picture)

Thumb Butte

Thumb Butte is one of the Prescott's major landmarks. It received its name "Thumb" because it does sort of look like a clenched fist with thumb sticking out. My personal experience with this mountain is lively: there are a number of exciting trails there for mountain biking - awesome views .. what else can man ask for?
