Cottonwood Ridge is a short spur leading to an abundance of camping opportunities. There are no major obstacles, but a short hill climb with loose rock may provide a challenge for lower-clearance vehicles. The trail ends at a campsite with an impressive view of the valley below. Dispersed camping is offered all along the first half of the trail, with one or two sites near the top. The 2-track does appear to continue but gets too narrow for full-size vehicles.
