Where The Road Wanders

Some of the best roads aren’t paved… but that doesn’t mean they’re difficult to enjoy.

Cottonwood Canyon Road is one of those drives that reminds me why I love taking the slower route. Between the colorful cliffs, wide-open desert, and Grosvenor Arch, it feels like you’re discovering a part of the Southwest that many travelers never see.

Just be sure to check road conditions before you go. After rain, this road can become impassable, and a high-clearance vehicle is the safest choice.

Have you ever taken a road simply because you were curious to see where it went?
