Big Cottonwood Overlook

Outdoors with Jesus began June 1986. 
Our first hike was up Mill B North Fork. 
Celebrating our 22nd Anniversary.

BIG COTTONWOOD OVERLOOK

MILL B NORTH FORK
 
DESCRIPTION: Be careful crossing the road to the north side of the canyon. If you would like to see HIDDEN FALLS, a dry trail is found by scrambling around the large rock, counterclockwise.  You'll get some great views of the S Curve as you begin switchbacking. You'll drop over the hill and follow a bubbling stream. Huge rocks and forest make this a wonderful setting entering the Mount Olympus Wilderness area. After climbing more switchbacks, you'll head south to the canyon edge. As the trail turns east, you'll find a large trail leading to the rocky overlook with exposure.

MILEAGE: 1 1/2 mile to overlook 
RATINGS: MODERATE 
GEAR: Water, bug spray, hiking pole, camera, first aid, hat, sunscreen, and energy food.
