Coyote Canyon is a short, out-and-back mountain biking route on Bureau of Land Management land in the Las Vegas Field Office, about half a mile from the town of Las Vegas, Nevada. The climb is rated moderate, with a total of about 377 feet of elevation gain and loss over a round trip of roughly 0.9 miles. The steepest part of the route comes at about 0.4 miles, where the grade reaches 23%. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 81°F and October highs around 84°F, while July averages climb to about 107°F. That station sits well below the canyon, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Coyote Canyon sits close to several other trails, including the Coyote Canyon route itself, the IMBA (Easy) trail, and the Mother & Ernie's Epic (Difficult) and West Leg (Moderate) routes, all within about half a mile. Climbers can find Henderson Crags about 5.4 miles away.
