The second largest canyon to emerge from Arizona's Red Rock Country is Sycamore Canyon, with 55,937 acres of wilderness marked by colorful cliffs, and soaring pinnacles. The canyon offers hiking, horseback riding, swimming, fishing, and wildlife viewing opportunities. This area is sufficiently unique to have been the first in Arizona to be designated a Primitive Area. It later became a Wilderness Area in the 1984 Arizona Wilderness Act.
The wilderness encompasses all of Sycamore Canyon from its forested rim near Williams to its desert canyon mouth in the Verde Valley. If you hike to Taylor Cabin visitors will see the historic and picturesque lair of the American cowboy. The Parsons Spring Trail meanders up a fertile desert riparian area. The Sycamore Rim Trail skirts the canyon's upper reaches through an area of secluded pools and tall forests.
