Sycamore Trail #68
From FR 421, the trail climbs steadily through lower Sonoran Desert and riparian vegetation up the arroyo formed by Sycamore Creek. It turns northward and continues to climb along a tributary, passing through chaparral, semi-desert grassland and juniper woodland. The trail tops out on the El Oso Divide and then descends to its end at Edwards Park in a stand of large Ponderosa Pines.
Attractions:
- Nice vistas of Tonto Basin and the surrounding mountains.
- At the upper elevations, the trail passes through a beautiful stand of Ponderosa pine forest.
