| no partners | | I set out on this adventure, knowing that I would never make it to the finish. But I had no idea how utterly the Coyote Wilderness would defeat me. The drive to the trailhead is good in a high clearance vehicle, but you might want 4WD to park. It wasn’t clear exactly where an appropriate spot was. Be sure you don’t block the rancher’s fence straight across from the TH. It is actually a gate there.
As others have said, the road section is easy, but once you start heading up the side of the ridge, navigation gets difficult. Although armed with previous HAZer’s tracks and annotations, the brush, and disappearing trail, made for slow going. I made it to the top of the first ridge, 2000’ up, and with another 1000’ to climb, before deciding I had had enough. I wasn’t really inspired by the beauty, either. I did not take so many photos. |
