We'd planned to drive Cottonwood Canyon Road earlier in our 10-day trip into Utah. But rain had rendered the road impassable. After checking with the BLM visitor center in Cannonville, we headed south along the geologic fault that created the Cottonwood Canyon. After a quick stop and hike up to Grosvenor Arch, we halted at the south trailhead to the Cottonwood Narrows. Its a quick drop down into the Narrows from the small pullout. Right at the start there was a scramble up and over a dry waterfall. The rest of the Narrows was easy walking. Our fascination with the tight canyon took us a ways past the climb out to north trailhead. Eventually we doubled back and climbed out to road walk back to the truck. Didn't see a soul on the hike. I like that.
