This route takes you up to Cottonwood Lake via CR343/344, just off the start of Cottonwood Pass. It is a fairly mellow ride with some decent hills, and plenty of natural scenery and wildlife. The road surface is pretty well maintained, but expect some washboarding. Traffic is moderate for a dirt road during peak summer season. Feel free to continue past the campground if you are seeking more adventure, however the road surface deteriorates rapidly past that point. There is no parking near the start, but starting in town will give you a good chance to warm up before hitting dirt.
