South Cottonwood.....it's real nice!



South Cottonwood is in good shape now. There are a few wet spots, the usual ones, but for the most part the trail is in fantastic shape up to the meadow. Past the meadow the creek is doing its usual thing by flowing down the trail(near the intersection w. Fox Creek trail). BE WARNED. Since Hyalite is currently closed it seems like every one from Bozeman is using this trail head as their alternative. Granted I rode it on Sunday afternoon but this is the first time I have ever seen cars parked on both sides of the road for 100yds before the parking lot! Until Hyalite opens I expect this trail is going to see a bit higher use than average.

/soapbox Please! dont give mtn bikers a bad name. Be curtious, I hate to have to say this but , Yeild the trail to uphill travelers(This means you Dude in the brown helmet riding an black Intense Uzzi who shouted "Two more!" as you crusied by! Next time, I wont move over!). \soapbox

That being said you wont see too many people past the second bridge, which is the usual case anyway. The trees are mostly cleared up to the meadow, thanks to the horse folk.
