    Route Description for Thomas Point Trail

    Thomas Point Trail is a hidden gem in Sedona. This trail isn’t very busy, but it offers great views and a bit of shade at the beginning of the hike. Pick it on busy days where other trails are too packed. While this hike gets some shade at the start, bring lots of water and sunscreen for the last half.

    The trailhead for this route can be hard to find. Park at the West Fork Trailhead and then walk south on the east side of the road (be careful, the shoulder is narrow). Walk for 0.4 km and look for the address sign for house 10055. Directly across from this, you’ll see a sign for the trail and a cement block. Don’t go into the woods.

    From the trailhead, You’ll take a few switchbacks before the trail traverses to your left. You’ll turn uphill and then make your way through two curving turns as the forest falls back and your view opens up. The route can be a bit hard to make out near the top, so rely on your GPS if you need to. At the point, take in the view before retracing your steps.
