Cottonwood is a hard hike in the Mount Naomi Wilderness, part of the Logan Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in northern Utah. The trail is about 7 miles long, with a one-way climb of roughly 1,260 feet from a low point near 6,500 feet to a high of about 7,644 feet. It is a natural-surface route, and horses are allowed. The trail is not accessible. The hike starts within the wilderness, so plan for a backcountry outing. The closest neighbors are the Cottonwood Canyon Trail, about 0.7 miles away, and the Old Juniper Shady Route, about 1.1 miles away. Climbers can head to Utopia, about 1.5 miles off, and Wood Camp Campground, about 2.2 miles away, offers a place to camp.
