Short falls access from Sycamore Falls Trailhead
The firsthand visitor gives roughly 0.1 mile to the fork and another 0.1 mile to the main falls. Doubling that approach gives about 0.4 mile return; Williams tourism separately describes a quarter-mile walk without a return convention.
Natural ground surface; steep rocky sections around the falls.
Where to start
From I-40 exit 167, follow Garland Prairie Road / FR 141 south about nine miles, turn right onto FR 109, then continue about three miles to the left turn for the small dirt lot beside the restroom. These directions come from a firsthand visitor account; forest-road conditions vary.
Timing & water
Seasonal flow after spring snowmelt and summer monsoon rain. Forest Service trail page lists the rim trail open as checked October 27, 2026.
