I'm curious which area in Cottonwood Cove you went to that your guide hadn't been to in 3 years? If you ever go again, make sure you check out the Red Cove, Chocolate Swirl, and the Rainbow Cove as well. That area is almost as nice as the Southern Wave area. Also, don't give up on North Coyote Buttes. We've been to these areas multiple times and I rate them as follows. (1) The Wave/North Coyote Buttes, (2) Cottonwood Cove/South Coyote Buttes, (3) The North Teepees, (3) White Pocket.
