    Tips

    Cycling

    This section of the Cottonwood Trail is a short, but sweet, crushed gravel trail that connects Independence Road to Jay Road. It's a nice, scenic way to avoid some of the busy road crossings on Diagonal Highway while enjoying riding next to a creek and past some open fields. While all of this section of trail is very doable on a road bike, there is a bridge crossing that sometimes has planks loose or missing so be aware of that if you're skinnier tires!
