I love trough road!

So much wildlife out here on Trough Road. If you like rafting, this is the place to be.  Upper Cottonwood has portable toilets and good shade. It can accommodate multiple groups. It is accessible to the water.

If you go to the hot spring, pack everything out. Do not ruin this spot for the locals.
