Sycamore Creek in the Verde Valley, Arizona
Including Sycamore Falls and the Sycamore Canyon Wilderness
There are many Sycamore Creeks in Arizona. This one is in the Verde
Valley. The creek 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. Most 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.
