Coyote Run is a cross-country ski route in Huron Meadows Metropark, a city-managed park in Michigan, about a mile from the town of Whitmore Lake. The run is an out-and-back of roughly 2 miles, with a total elevation gain of about 10 feet, so it's a flat, easy outing for skiers looking to stay close to town. Winter is the natural season for this route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show January highs around 30°F with lows near 15°F, while March runs a bit milder at about 44°F by day and 24°F at night. Several other ski routes sit close by. Bucks Run is about 0.2 miles away and Hawk Hills about 0.4 miles. For a change of pace, the Blue Trail for mountain biking is roughly 2 miles off, and the Brighton Recreation Area Bishop Lake Hiking Trails are about 3 miles away.
