About This Trail

Imported description
Solid campground can be a place to base yourself off of Cottonwood Pass. Cottonwood Lake provides good fishing for rainbow trout. If you're camping with a tent at the paid site, it is definitely better to have overflow sites. There are several places for free camping just across the street from the paid spots, most notably the creek side spots. There's tons of space on the sites and lots of fire pits.
