An enjoyable hike with good views but very little shade. My favorite part was walking through some of the huge creosote fields. Enjoyed a post-hike glass of wine and live music at Alcantara Vineyard.

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:

Rangers at Dead Horse Ranch SP recommended this one to us during our stay.
We hiked clockwise the Lower Raptor, Thumper & Lime Kiln trails to complete the "Thumper Loop".
Excellent hike on very nice scenic trails, will make this a re-peat on future visits to Dead Horse.
:D
