There are many who call the Sycamore Canyon a Little Grand Canyon, / which is an injustice to the Sycamore. / The Sycamore is subtle, / hiding its walls behind bushes and disguising its torturous breaks and cliffs with enchanting shades. / Set in thick forest, it is the second largest of a series of canyons that form the Mogullon Rim. / Its walls hide Indian ruins and cliff dwellings, narrow trails and shady canyons known to only a few. / Unlike the Grand Canyon, cattle run in the Sycamore. / There is spring water known to the cattlemen and natives. / Its rim is a haunt of mountain lions and bears. / Deer graze along its rim during the summer / and travel down its narrow trails to the sheltered bottom in the winter. / The Forest Service has desiguated Sycamore Canyon as a wilderness area, / to preserve its natural wildlife setting. / The Sycamore is a favorite spot for hikers and campers who relish its beauty. !
