The Thompson Trail follows the course of the West Fork of the Black River and passes through some of the most striking country to be seen on the Springerville District. This high country is snowed in for nearly half the year and characterized by steep, timbered canyons and frequent meadows. The trail begins just off Forest Road 116 near Thompson Ranch. Because it travels alongside of the West Fork of the Black River the trail is generally level.

This is a 6.5-mile round trip varying in elevation from 8,600 feet to 8,840 feet.
