Description

Ascending Coyote Ugly begins near the Bowen Ranch. The trail winds uphill through some fairly easy switchbacks and then through a rock arroyo, culminating in a mile long moderate climb to Sotol Forest.

Descending this trail can be fast, but you better have good brakes!

Horny toad on the trail that just did not want to move out of the way. Just one of many types of wildlife in the area.

Fantastic downhill, bits of washout on sides of trail and totally manageable.
