About Coyote Hills
The Coyote Hills are a small mountain range located in central New Mexico. Rising from the high desert landscape, the range features rugged, rocky peaks and canyons carved by seasonal streams. The terrain is primarily composed of sedimentary and volcanic rock, with some areas of exposed granite. Elevations range from around 6,500 feet in the foothills to just over 8,000 feet at the highest summits. The remote and arid character of the Coyote Hills creates a stark, dramatic landscape ideal for wilderness exploration.
