Hiking Trails

Sycamore Canyon Loop

Rating: Moderate

Trailhead: Curry Point on South Gate Road.

Trail Statistics: 3.5 miles and a 640 foot elevation gain.  At  Curry Point follow the fire road bearing right on Knobcone Point Road, ¾ mile to the junction of the Devils Slide Trail on the right (south).  Follow Devils Slide Trail into the canyon to the junction with the Trail Through Time.  Turn right (west) on the Trail Through Time and ascend to Rock City.  Walk north through Rock City and pick up the Summit Trail at the north end of Rock City which takes you to a connector trail to Curry Point.

Description: This loop is attractive at any time of the year, but perhaps at its best in the fall, with colorful leafy carpets under towering sycamore trees deep down in the narrow canyons. It is also attractive in late winter when the creek flows with deep pools and miniature waterfalls
