Trail Overview
Coyote is a 5-mile-long single track in the Manzanita Mountain OHV area that is popular with dirt bikers, mountain bikers, and hikers. It's very windy through a forested desert terrain full of pinyon pine and juniper trees. The trail has lots of rock slab sections and moderate rock obstacles. The obstacles are like small stair step ledges but are often slabs that are like a ramp or have multiple lines to choose from where one is often easier. It's mostly flat with small descents and climbs as it dips in and out of ravines. In total, it has 700 feet of elevation gain and 300 of loss when riding west to east. The trail has several intersections that are all well signed, so you can connect to More Cowbell and Coyote Split, and it ends on 462 Road. The trail has lots of tight turns and sections that are more troughed with banked corners. Since this is one of the first trails from the staging areas, it can be busy, so watch out for oncoming traffic. It has lots of loose, wobbly, and chunky rock as well.
