This Hidden Spot In Arizona Is Unbelievably Beautiful And You’ll Want To Find It
Often referred to as Arizona’s second Grand Canyon, Sycamore Canyon is one gorgeous place hiding all kinds of alluring sights. You can find the beautiful, babbling Sycamore Creek, ancient buildings that still stand all these centuries later, plenty of wildlife, and, of course, nature’s beautiful self. There is one hidden little spot near the north end of the canyon that is known for its unique rock formations, rock climbing area, and a seasonal waterfall.

This is Paradise Forks, also known as Sycamore Falls!
After the snowmelt, you'll even get a chance to see why this place is called Sycamore Falls! When these are running, the whole scene looks almost unreal.
To find Paradise Forks, you’ll want to hike along Sycamore Rim Trail. Information can be found at the Forest Service website. When you visit, remember to respect nature by leaving no trace!
