Getting There

The Coyote Creek gate is located on Gilroy Hot Springs Road, the same road you take to get to Coyote Reservoir.

To get to the gate, take Highway 101 to Gilroy (which is about 10 miles south of Morgan Hill and 25 miles south of San Jose). The distance from 101 to the Coyote Creek gate is about 10.8 miles.

Take the Leavesley Road exit and head east.

After about 1.8 miles, turn left on New Avenue; go a little over half a mile and then turn right on Roop Road. This road is a little windy, so allow about extra 20 minutes drive time.

About 3 miles up Roop Road, you'll pass the Coyote Reservoir Road on the left. The road name changes at the turnoff to Coyote Lake from Roop to Gilroy Hot Springs Road- stay on this road to the end(Coyote Creek Gate). It is about 1.8 miles from the Hunting Hollow.
