How to work the Cottonwood trail today, so one mile trail that takes you over to Jay road starts over here at independence. Road there's a little parking lot here, one disabled spot. It's a gorgeous trail, especially if you do it in the fall. All the leaves are changing, beautiful, mostly flat, but there's a few spots. So you have to go over there a little steep. Let's go check it out.

Right here it's about a four percent grade for about 80 feet, not too bad. The whole trail is about 8 feet wide. The whole time go through a gape. It's about three and a half t wide go to sleep at seven percent for about 20 feet, not too bad.

Got an eight percent cross slope for a little bit here, just a couple feet.

And then we've got a six percent grade coming up on the bridge here for about eight feet,.

About a nine percent slope not too bad coming off the bridge, there's a fifteen percent grade for about six feet.

It's a great trail for bikers and runners tons of them out here, usually.
