Sycamore Basin #63 is a 14.3-mile out-and-back hike in Arizona's Sycamore Canyon Wilderness, within the Chino Valley Ranger District of Prescott National Forest. The route rises from a low point of 4,295 feet to a high of 4,657 feet, a climb of 426 feet one way, and the Forest Service manages the land. The trail is rated hard, and the climb is the main challenge. Horses are allowed, but bikes are not. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Jerome, at a similar elevation, show May highs around 78°F and October highs around 71°F, while July averages about 91°F and winter brings a few snow days a month.
