Little Cottonwood Creek

Little Cottonwood Creek trail is a beautiful ride winding alongside little cottonwood creek. It is a doublewide track littered with rocks and boulders that crosses the creek several times.

It offers a sustained moderate climb which is a great workout. The abundant rocks test your navigation skills and large sandy gravel patches can be difficult to push through.

The downhill is fast paced with a few great jumps and obstacles along the way. There are a few large jumps which require nerves of steel and good shock travel. Watch for other riders and hikers as the trail is heavily used and there are many blind corners.
