Mike,
Cottonwood Canyon Road is one I use frequently, as in good weather it provides a useful and scenic shortcut between U.S. Hwy 89 and Utah 12. There are some great hikes along the way, and of course the country is beautiful. Be warned however, as the road is one of those backways that becomes a trap for the unwary when it rains - See the link for the "Impassable when wet" below.
Listed below are entries are from my previous blog posts and RV.Net trip reports about this wonderful 47 mile dirt road.

Eric,
I should've known that you were well acquainted with this road. :) I should've looked at your blog first before asking this question. Looks like you've had some adventures with that route. I hope I never catch myself in a situation like that. Getting stuck is not my idea of fun. :)
