About Coyote Hills

The Coyote Hills mountain range in western New Mexico is a rugged and remote landscape dominated by volcanic peaks and dramatic canyons. The terrain is characterized by steep, rocky slopes, with numerous craggy summits and deep, winding ravines. The higher elevations are covered in piñon-juniper woodlands, while the lower slopes support a mix of desert scrub and grasslands. Wildlife in the range includes mule deer, black bears, cougars, and a variety of birds of prey and small mammals.
