Sycamore Creek in the Verde Valley, Arizona
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 Sycamore Canyon Wilderness, an area west of Sedona and north
of Clarkdale characterized by red-rock-type scenery with large trees along
the water at the bottom of the gorge. Many of the photos on this page were
taken along the Parson's Trail (#144), which parallels Sycamore Creek
as it heads into the Sycamore Canyon Wilderness. Continuing
south, the creek eventually feeds into the Verde River.
