Coyote Rocks is a climbing area in the Laramie Ranger District of the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest in Wyoming, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of climbing and hiking destinations, with East Corner, The Heap and North Corner all within about a third of a mile. The area is a bouldering hub, with 16 boulder problems and one trad route among its 17 routes. The boulders run from V1 to V8, with the hardest, Love and Post-Modernist Masonic Union Malfeasance, at V7-8. The trad route, Acid House, is a V6 boulder. The climbing is concentrated in a small area, so the whole outing can be done in a short time. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Laramie show July highs around 81°F and lows near 52°F, while winter highs stay in the low to mid 30s. That station sits about 850 feet lower than the area, so temperatures at Coyote Rocks run cooler. The Regolith Trail and Green Mountain Trail are both about 0.3 miles away. For an overnight stay, Vedauwoo Campground is about 2.5 miles off, and Pole Creek Group Campground is about 4.5 miles away.
