Sycamore Canyon is is the second largest canyon in the state of Arizona, second only to the Grand Canyon.[1] The 21 mile (33.6 km) long scenic gorge reaches a maximum width of about 7 miles (11.2 km and is located in north central Arizona along the Mogollon Rim northwest of Sedona. Located within three different U.S. National Forests, the Coconino National Forest, Kaibab National Forest, and the Prescott National Forest, Sycamore Canyon is home to a variety of wildlife including black bear, deer, and mountain lion. Unlike the nearby and more heavily visited Oak Creek Canyon, much of Sycamore Canyon is protected by the 56,000 acre Sycamore Canyon Wilderness and therefore roads and developed campgrounds are nonexistent. Hiking is the only way to access the canyon.
