Coyote This trail can really be awesome or really rough, depending on how much moisture it's gotten and how much the motor bikes have torn it up each season. It is mostly comprised of loose dirt/rocks, with some smoother/flowier sections near the top and bottom. Through the middle though, it's a tough climb that is long and arduous, and a big reason for that is the loose nature of the trail. The toughest parts are steep, loose and rocky with baby heads littering the trail and grip sometimes coming at a premium. As a downhill this trail can really rock if it's not too loose, but be prepared as there is a bit of a climb right near the end that, while not super steep necessarily (there is one very short, steep section), will definitely take the wind out of your sails.
