Thomas Hill

About

Thomas Hill is a summit of 7,752 feet in the South Platte Ranger District of the Pike and San Isabel National Forests in Colorado, about 4 miles from the town of Roxborough Park. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Roxborough Park show July highs around 85°F with lows near 58°F, and the summit sits higher than that station, so expect cooler temperatures up top. Several trails start close by. Swallowtail Trail is about 1.4 miles away, and Willow Creek Falls Trail and Powerline Trail - USFS 800 are each about 1.7 miles off. Indian Creek Campground, roughly 2 miles away, offers a place to stay.
