Cottonwood - Sunset Tie is a mountain biking route on the Fillmore Ranger District of Fishlake National Forest in Utah, managed by the Forest Service. The ride is short, about 0.83 miles, and climbs roughly 491 feet from a low point around 7,500 feet to a high of about 8,000 feet. For comfortable riding weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from the nearby Koosharem weather station put May highs near 69°F and September highs near 75°F, though that station sits well below the route, so temperatures on the climb run cooler.
