Widow Maker Tour: Lower Sycamore Creek Adventure

What is Widow Maker? Widow Maker is a series of challenging climbs up a steep hillside, located at Sycamore Creek, commonly called Lower Sycamore Creek. If you are traveling from Phoenix, head east on Loop 202. Take Exit 13, Country Club Dr., and turn left onto Highway 87. Travel north for 20 miles and exit onto Bush Highway. Turn left onto Bush Highway, and you will reach the Sycamore Creek Trailhead. Note that the last services are located at a local Chevron off Ft. McDowell Road. Be sure to obtain any necessary supplies and utilize services before heading to the trail.

Sycamore Creek is a popular off-highway recreational area. You will encounter significant OHV traffic as you drive down the dirt path. As a courtesy, keep your speed relatively low. Maintain high awareness, as dirt bikes and RZRs will be passing by. As we descend into the wash, you will see diverse vegetation and wildlife. The trails are not regularly maintained, and there will be overgrowth. It is advised that windows remain rolled up and all body parts remain inside the vehicle. The desert is rugged, and the plant life has evolved with many thorns. Sycamore Creek is a known flash flood zone. If a flash flood warning is issued, the tour will be canceled. Although it may not be raining in the immediate area, rainfall further north can flow down to Sycamore Creek. If your tour is canceled due to abrupt weather changes, you will be offered a different date or a refund. Sycamore Creek is part of the Tonto National Forest and is managed by the Mesa Ranger District. Designated off-highway vehicle areas may be closed to the public at times. We will do our best to be aware of these changes. If the designated area is closed, we will offer a trail in the general area. If no trails are available, we will offer another day or a refund.

Widow Maker offers a unique experience. The towering canyon walls will create a sense of confinement. The terrain is more uneven than videos can portray. As we navigate through the enclosed space, you will feel the suspension twist and turn, sometimes shifting the truck closer to the canyon walls. These moments will elevate your adrenaline. Will we slide into the wall? Can we make the turn ahead? Does the trail narrow? Once we reach the top, you will be rewarded with magnificent views of the creek bed and surrounding mountainsides. The sense of relief, combined with the natural beauty, offers a unique experience that few have the opportunity to enjoy. Overall, I hope you enjoy your experience and create memories that you will share with others..
