About Coyote Mountains

The Coyote Mountains are a small, rugged mountain range located in southeastern California near the Mexico border. The range consists of steep, jagged peaks and ridges formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago. The terrain is dominated by rocky outcrops, canyons, and desert scrubland vegetation adapted to the hot, dry climate. Elevations range from around 3,000 feet in the canyons to just over 5,700 feet at the highest peaks.
