I was staying in the Dead Horse Ranch State Park campground Quail loop. Jumped on Quail trail to Lime Kiln trail. Followed that up to the Thumper trail intersect then turned back. Took the side trip to Rattlesnake Canyon overlook and finally diverted down to the lagoons and Fume trail back to the campground.

Thumper Loop is another hike in the Boots and Burgers book. The hike is in the Dead Horse State Park. It makes a loop out of sections of Lime Kiln, Thumper , and Lower Raptor Trail. Haz doesn't have all of these trails listed yet. They are in the Dead Horse Trail System. The trails on this loop are hiker and mountain biker friendly. Maybe a couple rough spots for a beginner mountain biker like me but would be easy enough to walk that part. a nice variety of vegetation. Some grassy fields, Cresote fields, lots of Prickly Pear, Juniper, and Crucifix. My first time in this exact area and it seems the possibilities of lots of little adventures are good.
Camping,fishing, HIKING, mountain biking, and Cottonwood, Clarkedale, Jerome, Sedona all close by. Heck, the Lime Kiln Trail can take you all the way to Sedona :o . Nice morning hike with a cool breeze :D .
The book suggested Verde Lea Market for lunch. The Torta was very tasty! Another nice outing from the Boots and Burgers book. :y:

Visited friends Rich and Sue who were staying in Sedona for 2 weeks. We have both done most of the trails in Sedona so agreed to drive just a few miles to Dead Horse Ranch State Park. After a short spur off the main road though the park we hiked Lime Kilm trail to Thumper, Raptor and completed the loop with about 3/4 miles on roads in the park. All the elevation gain is from going in and out of large washes. This area is out of the red rock in Sedona and does not compare to the beauty of Sedona. We stopped for a cool beer in Old Cottonwood after the hike. We met Rich and Sue who live in Ocean City, NJ on the S.Kaibab Trail in 2005 and have shared a vacation every year since.
