Trail Overview

Cottonwood canyon is trail number 77. You can go either direction. The turn off of Bullion Canyon is right next to the turn off for Bullion Falls. It is very easy to mix this ride with a visit to the falls and the miners park. From Bullion Canyon the trail climbs steeply with many switchbacks. It is not a difficult road. It is very beautiful, and goes through a lot of forest. You will climb to views of Delano Peak (the highest in the Tushars) and see lots of mining history.

Second try on this trail. Same failure with deep snow coming in from the south. Still worth the ride even having to double back. Went down the 40756 trail to the Cottonwood Trailhead to get a quick hike in. Beautiful area in the bottom of the canyon but found the trail pretty overgrown.

Trail is obscured by snow at the north intersection of the revenue gulch trail. USFS has lifted restrictions and gates are open, just currently very impassible.
