Recreational
The Pima Canyon Trailhead has a lot of trail options available. They are fairly easy. If you want a challenge, you’ll need to hike up into South Mountain preserve.
The trailhead has a decent sized parking lot that fills up, with more parking on the road leading in.
There are bathrooms, water, and a map available.

Hiked with a group of friends. The facilities are good with lots of parking. Pit toilets are available. Signage is helpful. Many times there are Scottsdale McDowell Sonoran Preserve volunteers who can answer questions. 5 miles round trip, rated difficult because of the grade. If you want to look like a hiker wear closed toe shoes, not sandals or white sneakers. Take your time and enjoy the views when you reach the top. Also consider the Marcus Landing trail which is reached by the same trail head as the Thumb.
