Sycamore Canyon Rim Loop - Williams AZ

The hiking group decided to do the Sycamore Rim Trail up near Williams, AZ this weekend. It's mostly a flat trail, with the exception of KA hill. The question is whether to do the hill first or last.
I've got my pack loaded for training for my Peru trip.
There were several pretty areas along the start of the hike.


I spotted this horned toad along the path.

We caught the last of the cactus flowers still in bloom.

We stopped for lunch at the waterfall. No water was over the edge, but there were a few rock climbers to watch.
Standing at the top of the waterfall, looking down.


The direction we took around the loop, left KA hill for the very end. I thought it was a great way to end the hike.

Others weren't so lucky!
Coming down off the hill, we could see the flat ground ahead, and knew the car would soon be in sight.

Trail Stats:
Length: 11 miles
Elevation gain: 600 ft
Hiking Time: 5 to 6 hours
Rating: Easy to Moderate
