Coffee Pot is a hard hike on the Magdalena Ranger District of Cibola National Forest in New Mexico, about 8.6 miles long with a one-way elevation gain of 2,251 feet. The trail is an out-and-back that climbs from a low point of 7,417 feet to a high of 9,529 feet. It is open year-round, and the land is managed by the Forest Service. Horses are allowed, and the trail surface is natural, so it is suitable for riders. Bikes are not permitted. The route is a long, steep climb, and the high point makes this a mountain-top objective rather than a short outing. Several other hikes lie within a short drive. Post is about 3 miles away, and East Red and Teepe Peak Trail #81 are each about 4 miles off. Teepe Peak itself is roughly 6 miles away.
