Sycamore Basin #63

Managing agency

U.S. Forest Service

Sycamore Basin #63 is a 14.3-mile out-and-back trail located in Arizona and managed by the U.S. Forest Service. The route features modest elevation gain of 426 feet, making it accessible for hikers with moderate fitness levels. The out-and-back format allows hikers to choose their own turnaround point, with the option to complete the full distance or explore a shorter section depending on time and energy. This trail offers a solid day hike option for those seeking a longer adventure without extreme elevation challenges. The relatively gentle elevation profile makes it suitable for building endurance while enjoying the Arizona landscape. Hikers should plan accordingly for the full 14.3-mile distance if attempting the complete route, which translates to significant time on the trail. As a U.S. Forest Service-managed trail, Sycamore Basin #63 is maintained as part of the national forest system. Check with the Forest Service for current trail conditions, any seasonal closures, and specific regulations before your visit.
