Cottonwood Canyon Road Traverse

Bring two days of water, check the forecast twice. Not for first-day gravel riders.

Hard-pack when dry, impassable bentonite slop when wet. Cottonwood Canyon Road is one of the better remote gravel rides in southern Utah for riders who can handle the exposure and the after-rain wait.
