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.
