Talk:Sycamore Canyon (Yavapai County, Arizona)

Second largest canyon?
Comparing sizes of Oak Creek Canyon and Sycamore Canyon...

Sycamore Canyon is listed as 21 miles long and 7 miles wide. Oak Creek Canyon is listed as 12 miles long and 2.5 miles wide. Also, Sycamore Canyon has a greater elevation differential than Oak Creek Canyon from bottom to top. Are we sure that Sycamore Canyon isn't larger than Oak Creek Canyon?

I've heard this before. I thought maybe the speaker was including the entire Oak Creek watershed when referring to Oak Creek which would change measurements drastically. Or maybe because Oak Creek carries more water than Sycamore Creek assumptions are being made about the size.

When measuring only the narrow portion of the two watersheds Sycamore Canyon appears to be larger than Oak Creek Canyon by all measures. Jimharrigan11 (talk) 20:20, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
