Coyote Gulch Hiking Trail Map

Interactive hiking trail map and GPS route for the Coyote Gulch

Introduction

Welcome to my interactive hiking trail map! I've carefully crafted this resource to help you explore the Coyote Gulch just as I experienced it during my filming. The colored lines represent different route options: the main trail, alternate routes, and/or optional side trips. I've also marked key points of interest with custom icons - from breathtaking viewpoints to hidden gems and cultural landmarks that made this adventure truly special.

Feel free to zoom, pan, and click on any marker to learn more about that specific location. Each point includes my personal observations and practical tips that didn't make it into my video but could enhance your own journey.

Coyote Gulch Hiking Trail Map

As you can see from the map below, Coyote Gulch offers several routes to explore this stunning canyon. The most popular options include the Hurricane Wash trailhead, which provides a longer but more gradual approach, and the Crack in the Wall and Coyote Gulch trailheads, which offer more direct access but require a 4WD vehicle and some climbing experience. Once inside the canyon, you'll have the opportunity to discover the main Coyote Gulch, with its breathtaking arches and natural wonders. When it's time to leave, you can choose to hike or climb out, depending on your preferred route and skill level.

Download this Hiking Trail Map

While this interactive hiking trail map is great for planning your Coyote Gulch, having offline access during your hike is essential for safety and navigation. I've created a downloadable GPS file (available below) that's compatible with popular hiking apps like Maps.me, Gaia GPS, and Google Earth. Simply download the file and import it into your preferred app before hitting the trail.

Pro tip: I recommend downloading both the map and the surrounding area in your chosen app while you still have internet access. This ensures you'll have detailed topographic data even in areas with no cell service.

Physical Maps and Compass

For hiking the Coyote Gulch, GPS apps can be really helpful, but don't rely solely on technology. Batteries can die and things can go wrong, so it's always smart to have a backup plan. That's why having a physical map and compass, and knowing how to use them, is a must. And even if you do have a GPS app, it's still great to have a good understanding of basic navigation techniques like determining direction and pacing.

Conclusion

I hope this interactive map helps you visualize and plan your own adventure on the Coyote Gulch. Remember that conditions can change, and while I strive to provide accurate information, always check current conditions, bring appropriate gear, and follow local guidelines and Leave No Trace principles.
