Sycamore Canyon enters the Verde River near Clarkdale but begins in the vast Ponderosa Pine forest southeast of Williams. We will travel across to the canyon’s headwaters area from Drake, just north of Chino Valley, visiting JD Dam, Sycamore Point (with incredible views down the canyon), White Horse Lake, and Sycamore Falls, where the creek drops over a hundred feet into the beginnings of the canyon. Our journey will reach I-40 just east of Williams and we’ll return home. Along the way we’ll talk about the geology of the canyon and the varied ecosystems along the way. The trip will include about a mile of easy hiking.  Activity Rating: 2

Instructor: Chris Wuehrmann
