Route Description for Jim Thompson Trail
Jim Thompson Trail is a fun hike near Sedona that features views of The Fin, The Acropolis, and Tisha Spire. It’s a moderate route that most hikers will be able to enjoy. Keep in mind that this is a rocky trail, so you’ll want sturdy boots. We also recommend taking a map if you’re new to the area as some parts of the trail can be a bit unclear.
Beginning from the trailhead, take Jim Thompson Trail (there are a few trails that leave from this trailhead so make sure you take the correct one). You’ll hike underneath a power line for most of the trail, but the view is still very enjoyable. The trail curves up towards the western side of Tisha Spire before following the base of it. You’ll hike to where the route meets Wilson Canyon Trail.
From the junction, turn around and retrace your steps back to the trailhead. Enjoy a view of Ciboa Mitten and Brins Butte on the return trip.
