Coyote Loop is a short, easy mountain biking route in Arizona's Tucson Field Office, managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The ride is an out-and-back of under a mile, with a total elevation gain of about 24 feet, so it makes a quick stop for riders already in the area. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show March highs around 76°F and October highs around 87°F, while June and July average highs near 102°F. The route sits close to several other trails. Ridge Loop and North Trail are both about 0.1 mile away, and Old Indian Path is just as close. Gate's Pass, a climbing area, lies about 2.9 miles off.
