Cottonwood Narrows does not require technical canyoneering skills.
The drive from Kodachrome Basin down Cottonwood Canyon Road is spectacular.
The parking area is just a small turnout beside some interesting rock formations.
The entrance to the narrows is through a notch and a 4-foot drop.
The canyon quickly becomes wide, high, and windy.
The hike is easy and dry, but the going is a bit slow because of the sand.
This canyon isn't as narrow as some, but the colors and shapes are beautiiful.
Mid-afternoon is great for photos of the canyon walls.
The rocks in the trailhead saddle are very photogenic.
