Cottonwood Canyon and Willis Creek Slot

We next headed to the Cottonwood Canyon road. A 40 mile dirt trail between highway 89 in the south and Kodachrome Basin in the north. Nancy and I once rode this rough, dusty trail on motorcycles. We'd always wanted to return to camp and explore. We found it to be less than compelling for overnighting. We did get in a nice loop hike up a narrow wash before heading up to a ridge overlooking Bryce Canyon Head to the west and Kodachrome Basin to the east.

We spent a couple of nights camping at this beautiful albeit buggy site. I've included a video. We also were able to take the 8 mile down and back Willis Creek slot canyon hike. The canyon goes through five distinct slots widening to areas of sunshine and tall cliffs in between.Okumaya devam et
