Sycamore Canyon, Natural canyon in Coconino National Forest, Arizona.

Sycamore Canyon extends over 25 miles through Arizona's landscape, featuring steep red rock walls, flowing streams, and diverse plant communities along its course.

The canyon's geological formations developed over millions of years through erosion processes, revealing distinct layers of sandstone and volcanic rock formations.

Native American tribes established settlements near the canyon's water sources, using the natural resources for sustenance and conducting traditional ceremonies in the area.

Visitors can access multiple hiking trails throughout the canyon, including the 11-mile Sycamore Rim Trail and Parsons Trail leading to natural springs.

The canyon contains two upper forks formed by seasonal streams that cut through hard lava layers before merging into a deep gorge reaching 3,000 feet below.
