Location Information
North Cottonwood Trailhead is located 9.5 miles northwest of Buena Vista. It provides access to the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness.

From the trailhead hikers and horseback riders gain access to Horn Fork Trail (1449) and Kroenke (Kronkey) Lake Trail (1448). This is a good place to begin a pack trip in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness as several trails within the area intersect with the Kroenke Lake Trail.
