I ran away from the valley for three days with Katie. We spent our first day driving the Cottonwood Canyon road and seeing the sights along the way.

The road was generally in good shape, but a little soft in the middle and some slick clay sections around the middle. We drove through some pretty heavy snow flurries for a few minutes, but nothing accumulated. The narrows of Cottonwood and Grosvernor Arch were the highlights for us, but we also enjoyed our stroll to the Paria Box the next morning. It was cold. We woke up to 23 degree temps. Luckily, 4 dogs in the tent (yes 4) helps with the cold.

An amazing area. We saw two vehicle the entire time.

Taking the shortcut to Escalante to join Steph and Blake for some adventure. Cottonwood Canyon shaves 86 miles off the paved road route through Kanab. Had driven Cottonwood before north to south, but this was first south to north transit. Funny how you see things differently from their other side. Road was in great condition, so we made good time stopping only for a few photos.

Several nice campsites down on Cottonwood Creek off small side roads. Couple of nice hikes to be had as well. Would have love to have had the time to hike Yellow Rock.
