On Saturday, June 7, 2025, I made the long drive up to the Cave Creek, AZ area to go hiking on the Go John Trail at Cave Creek Regional Park.
Like previous hiking trips, I took A LOT of photos!!!
I also had an encounter with wildlife on my hike.

After hiking two times at White Tanks Preservation Park near Surprise, AZ, I started thinking about other areas of Maricopa County that I haven't visited.
After recently watching a locally produced TV show called "Trail Mix'd" on the Phoenix, AZ PBS affiliate about the Tom's Thumb Trail, I thought that I would make the long drive from to Scottsdale, AZ from Sun City-Peoria, AZ to visit the trailhead.
This will be a post about my visit to the trailhead for Tom's Thumb Trail in the McDowell-Sonora Wilderness Preserve in Scottsdale, AZ.
After visiting the Tom's Thumb trailhead, I also visited Cave Creek, AZ.
As always, more to follow.
