West Cottonwood Spring hike is a moderate 3 mile loop. It begins with a gradual incline through a well maintained trail to wide open vistas to the west. At the paragliding launch site the trail becomes a narrow track cutting across a north facing slope and through a draw to the spring overshadowed by a large Cottonwood tree and surrounded by wild plums. The return trip travels down over scree, or rubble, proving to be challenging for some.
