Coyote Wash: Rincon Valley
Details
2-4 miles; minimal elevation gain; slow to moderate pace. Hope Camp Trail to the Coyote trail turnoff, then follow the wash a ways. Could be water in the wash. We'll check on the Psychedelic Saguaro. Last time, there was a Great Horned Owl living in the cliffs again!
Meet and park at the Loma Alta Trailhead:
Directions: There is now a new traffic light at the corner of Old Spanish Trail and Camino Loma Alta. Please click on the event map. This trailhead is at the north end of Camino Loma Alta. The road does turn to hard pack dirt. Park at the Loma Alta Trailhead or park along the graded/maintained Camino Loma Alta Road. There are plenty of spaces for cars and trucks.
