Trail Overview

Cottonwood Road is a rough and rocky double-track into the Four Peaks Wilderness. The route is continuous loose rock until the Soldier Camp Trailhead, where it gives way to some easier dirt road driving. There are minor switchback turns, climbs, and ascents, however, the trail is not difficult, as it provides access to a working cattle camp. The route is an out-and-back of single vehicle width with limited shoulder areas until reaching the hiking trailhead at the end.
