Coyote Peak
About
Coyote Peak is a summit in the Sonoma-Lake Napa Unit in California, about 3.6 miles from the town of Calistoga. Late spring and mid-fall tend to be the most comfortable times for a visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Angwin run to highs around 73°F with lows near 47°F in May, and highs about 72°F with lows near 50°F in October. Midsummer highs there average in the mid-80s, and winter brings the most wet days. Three trails sit about 0.2 miles from the peak: the Vineyard Trail, Spring Trail and Redwood Trail. For a change from hiking, Bell Canyon offers climbing about 5.5 miles away, and the Napa River offers paddling about 6.7 miles out.
