About Coyote Hills

The Coyote Hills is a small mountain range located in the southeastern corner of New Mexico. This rugged, arid landscape features steep, rocky slopes and narrow canyons carved by intermittent streams. The terrain is dominated by exposed sedimentary and volcanic rock formations, creating a dramatic, almost lunar-like environment. Vegetation is sparse, consisting primarily of hardy desert shrubs and grasses adapted to the hot, dry climate. Despite its remote and isolated character, the Coyote Hills offer visitors a chance to explore a unique corner of the American Southwest.
