Coyote Admin is an easy hike of about 1.1 miles in the Coyote Ranger District of the Santa Fe National Forest in northern New Mexico, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is short and gentle, with a total elevation gain of about 35 feet, and it makes a quick out-and-back. The route is on natural surface, and it is open to both horses and bikes, so it works for riders and pack animals as well as hikers. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 75°F, with lows in the 30s and 40s. July and August run warmer, with highs in the mid-80s and more wet days. Puerco Canyon is about 3.6 miles away, and Questa Navajo is about 4 miles off. The Cdt and Pinabetal hikes are both within about 4.5 miles.
