Cottonwood and Marble Canyons
|
For the first 8 miles, the
road crosses Mesquite Flat and climbs
a broad alluvial fan before reaching the
canyon mouth. The road drops into the
wash and becomes rocky and rough.
One mile past the end of the first
narrows, a side road leads up to Marble
Canyon. Hikers can continue up the
canyon beyond road’s end to see some
of the finest canyon narrows in the
park. Two miles beyond road's end up
Cottonwood Canyon is a flowing
stream lined with cottonwood trees.
