"Awesome backpacking trip via Cottonwood Creek. Route is tedious but manageable with several short sections of willow whacking and wet groves. Camped at 10800' and took cover just before multiple spouts of hail came roaring in. Next morning on the ascent took a wrong turn at 11,100'-a right turn across a stream takes you up the wrong valley. Noticed about a half mile in, turned back, noticed I had dropped my phone, turned back again to find it. Continue straight from the unmarked junction to continue up to Cottonwood Lake.
Red gulley is in great shape. Small snow patches still melting out creating wet slabs below, but water is either avoidable or traversable on the grippy crestone conglomerate.
