Day outing through the boulders and narrow slot canyons of Cottonwood Wash.
Some scrambling is required to get over the numerous boulders in the wash
Cottonwood Wash soon makes you feel very small when you look up its gigantic walls
Don't enter Cottonwood Wash if a storm is approaching, you don't want to be stuck here during a flash flood
You can try to get over this boulder, but it is far easier to just take off your backpack and squeeze through the gap underneath
