Look up from the base of Tom's Thumb.  This Blackberry camera doesn't do too bad in bright sunlight.

Rock formations around the base of Tom's Thumb

This is a cave that you can pass through if you want to go completely around the thumb.

Here is a view looking up the face of the thumb where rock climbers can risk their lives. 

One of the big vertical crevices where climbers can go to get to the very top of the thumb

There is a view looking East from the base of Tom's Thumb.  A long way down!!  I would not want to fall from here. 

Another view looking up at the thumb.  Those patches of white are from rock climbers. 

Here is a cave beneath Tom's Thumb.  Notice an actual stalactite hanging from the top.  This must have been under water a long time ago. 

There is the view of Fountain Hills with the fountain rising up in the distance. 

This is the best zoom that I can do with my Blackberry Bold camera.  Next time I will bring my Canon G12 and tripod.

Rock formations getting light from the West as I make my way down the mountain at 4:00 pm

A nice view of the rocks getting lit up from the West as the sun starts to go down.

Final photo from a really nice hike.  Time to top was 1:45 hr with lots of photo/rest stops.  Time down was 1:00 hr with no stops.
