Confirmed from Sycamore Canyon Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

If you possess the stamina, have an exploratory nature and wish to see something most simply haven't dared to, the be sure to take the hike up Sycamore Canyon Trail to this grand look-out point.
Beautiful trail. Nice inclines for the legs and mental grit. As soon as I hit Poison Oak trail I ventured into a side trail and encountered a Big Brown Bear. Of course i made myself as big as possible and began to yell at it. I was maybe 30 ft away from it. Be aware of the wildlife.
