That was a great road you shared. It offered a lot more than I imagined just looking over my paper maps :-) I really enjoyed your photography too. cheers
I was stranded on that road when a tropical storm moved up from Mexico in the night. 2 inches in 24 hours! I couldn’t think of a more magical spot to be delayed though-hiked and photographed until the local grader renewed the driving surface after the river subsided. Yellow rock had no trail to it “back in the day” and there were no trails to the local slot canyons either. Grosvenor’s arch had a dirt pull out was all. Coyote buttes were largely ignored, no trail. Route finding was with a topo map as GPS was still science fiction. This was before the Louis and Clark expedition which I was a part of.
Those drone shots of the Cockscomb are amazing. I've drive that road a couple times and absolutely love it. I already want to go back and hit up a couple of those hikes. Easily one of Utah's lesser known gems to explore.
Wow, great shots. I just learned of this trail. Thanks for the lighting tips! The scenery unfolding around 12.5 after the narrowest section was stunning!
Thanks, Jon! Great photography, really representative of the area. I live close by, and can agree. Turn around if you see the water flow in a canyon or stream bed increasing. It will save your life. Also, this road is impassible in the rain. Get a good weather report before going. And lastly, thanks for correctly pronouncing "Grosvenor" arch.
Drove this route a couple years ago and I was so impressed, it is a beautiful and diverse landscape. We didn’t have time to really hike around as we were on a schedule to get to Kodachrome Basin State Park which was another really cool spot to check out. I love southern Utah!!
at 12:11 there's a dog resting on your left. I was up Hackberry and Cottonwood with my dog in 2012. It's a neat area, wasn't going to go up the canyon as you did because of earlier rain puddles on the road though it was beautiful when we were there.
This sure looks like a great trip. How is the road? Beautiful views along the way and it is sure nice to be able to pull over for the night! Thanks for sharing it all with us. Take care always 😊
The road is passable in a higher clearance vehicle but I would not recommend going here if there is any rain. Several areas would be mud traps and impassable regardless of the vehicle. There is a fair amount of dispersed camping spots available too. Glad you enjoyed the video James!
@@amazingtraveladventures AllTrails I use all the time and you can download the trail to use offline also create your own. I used it for this particular route too. There is also Gaia which I have the app but haven’t used quite as much as AllTrails.

What was your favorite location?
I love the slot canyons at Cottonwood Narrows North Trail
A very good road adventure with excellent drone pictures!
I appreciate that, only starting using a drone about a year ago.
Wifey and I have driven Cottonwood Canyon road several times. Can't get enough of it. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from West Jordan, Utah
That is awesome! I look forward to future trips here.
Awesome video. Just make sure to not get caught in a summer monsoon storm up there. That clay based road can get people stranded quite easily.
Great advice!
Utah Cottonwood Canyon #42... :)
Great job showing there is beauty anywhere you look for it.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!

Awesome, thank you! It’s worth spending some time here exploring.

Great story! It’s interesting how much things have changed in a short period Of time. Thanks for sharing Daniel.
What a bunch of beautiful places! It is so cool that you were in the canyon when the river started "gently" flowing. Good idea to turn around though.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Agreed! I look forward to a future trip here this winter.

Glad it was helpful and best of luck on a future visit.
Nice one Jon! Totally made me want to visit here as well 😊
You should Amy!
Great video Brother, thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the video jn general.
I appreciate it!

Great added information, I noticed a few spots where it would be thick mud and impassable. You live near some amazing landscapes!
Jon another nice video. Liked that solit tree shot. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Bobby, I’m really glad you enjoyed this adventure!

It’s a great scenic road and I look forward to visiting the Kodachrome Basin in the future. Awesome suggestion.
Great video Jon. I'm planning on a motorcycle trip next week going through this beautiful place. Thanks for sharing.
Have fun and good luck!
Thank you Jon. Great trip you took us on!
You’re welcome Mark!

I hadn't noticed that, thanks for pointing it out.
I cannot see a dog…

We did this drive earlier this year, it's a beautiful place.
That’s great! What spots did you check out?
After braving the foreign tourist crowds at Zion and Bryce , cottonwood Road was the height of my Utah vacation along with Mystic Hot Springs
That is amazing!
How many Cottonwood Canyons are there in Utah?
Good question, at least one that I know of.
Isn't there one by Murray or am I confused.
Probably a lot.
You need those Apps with Trail Maps on your phone. Most of them work even without cell signal.
I sure do, any recommendations?
@@jonmanjeotGaia gps app is a good one.
Gaia and AllTrails is what I use. I use AllTrails the most, you can download the trail map and follow along offline.
@@amazingtraveladventures AllTrails I use all the time and you can download the trail to use offline also create your own. I used it for this particular route too. There is also Gaia which I have the app but haven’t used quite as much as AllTrails.
@@jonmanjeotAll Trails. I got great signal even in a few remote areas in Alaska. The app let's you download a trail, too.
