Coyote Loop Trail starts off of Swamp Wells about a half mile from the base of Horse Butte and runs up to the Swamp Wells Horse Camp. The first half of the trail is open with few trees due to a past forest fire. After crossing China Hat Road the trail soon enters into the trees and you encounter a fairly gentle climb up to the horse camp. There is a split in the trail about 3 miles past China Hat Road which will take you through some very techy lava goodness (right) or along a fire road (left). After a couple hundred yards, the 2 routes merge again.

Doesn't look like a loop to me...

It can be looped into a few other trails if you study the map. Personally I loop it to Arnold Ice Cave

Super fun flowy downhill. A great loop can be made coming up swamp wells and returning to Horse Butte on this trail. Good trail for beginners!

Great way to make a big loop with the other trails in this area. I have only ridden down this and my impression is that it would ride best this direction. It’s a fun descent with some fun turns and fast speeds in sections. The lower part slows down and requires more pedaling, but it’s still fun. If you ride all of the way to the bottom there is a short section of climbing, but it isn’t too steep.
