Sycamore Canyon Wilderness, Arizona
and Upper Sycamore Creek including Sycamore Falls
There are many Sycamore Creeks in Arizona. This one begins in the pine-covered
high country, not far from the City of Williams. The upper reaches include Sycamore
Falls. The waterway then flows south into the Verde Valley, into a region west of Sedona
and north of Clarkdale characterized by red-rock-type scenery with large trees, including
of course sycamores, along the water. Many of the photos on this page were taken along
the Parson's Trail, which parallels Sycamore Creek in the lower reaches of the Sycamore
Canyon Wilderness. Continuing south, the creek eventually feeds into the Verde River.
