Coyote Buttes

About the Hike: Out of the world location ! Unreal rock formations and brilliant color contrasts.

Time: Start: 9.15am, End: 12.30pm, total hiking time = 2hrs 15min

Distance: 6mi roundtrip, 340ft elevation gain

Our Hike:
Hottest hike ever, 110F must have been the max temp that day, we had about 6l of fluids per person, sunscreen, hat, good hiking shoes and of course the camera ! GPS strongly recommended if this is the first time you are attempting this hike, since it is completely unmarked. We made good time earlier in the morning due to the slightly cooler temperature. We attempted hiking back without the GPS, and it was not too bad, we didn't stray away from the path too much. All formations look alike, so it is important to identify very unique landmarks to make sure you don't lose your way.

Driving and other Info:
Take 211-W from 191 in Utah, and take Beef Basin road (left) after crossing the visitor center, it becomes a car-navigable dirt road after a short distance (<0.6mi). style="font-weight: bold;">Our Hike: We hiked this trail at the peak of summer, and were well prepared with water and hats. It was not as hot as the desert, but there is are only about 2 spots with shade on the trail. Use this map for the hike path and to get to one of these shaded spots for lunch.
