Spent two nights at Cottonwood Canyon SP in the cabins. Such a great desert getaway!
Enroute, we stopped at Deschutes River and biked up that canyon for about 7 miles, then my partner got a flat tire. We imagined spending a night there doing some winter camping at one of the rafters sites, now on the list!
Cold starry nights in the canyon- no wifi, blissful. We explored Hay Canyon and wandered the high bluffs, and the Hard Stone trail where we relaxed by the river and a nice sized big horn ram strolled into view. Everything was golden and sundrenched.
