Course was lush and golf play management is a must! Had a great time enjoying each hole with views everywhere. Hard pin placements made putts challenging.

You definitely need a vehicle with high clearance or 4 wheel drive. It was an interesting ride getting to our destination but once there it was breathtaking, amazing, and just inspiring. All this beauty created by wind, water, and time.

Coyote Canyon

Popular day hiking area for desert lovers.

Reviewed By snwshrddr - Los Angeles, United States

Coyote Canyon (and the road leading to it) is a hidden gem of #SuperBloom. My husband and I took our dog (a large breed) on our Super Bloom Trip in the 3rd weekend of March 2019. It was far better than Anza Borrego Desert State Park. Too many people, too many dogs and not enough wildflowers to boot. You will find gorgeous Super Bloom by the long stretch of road to Coyote Canyon entrance area. Each field seemed to have different types of wildflowers and no poppies. I found it was interesting. They were stunning regardless Once you enter Coyote Canyon on drive into the dirt road you are going to see another sets of wildflowers and cactus blooms. Be careful when you try to get close to the flower patches. There were a few balls of cactus rolling about. I got one of those stuck on the seam of my boot (I know! I thought I was protected.????) I carefully try to remove it by hand. Bad move. I got my finger tip stung bad. That little thorny thing was evil! Well, all that is now a good memory. Happy trail! It was loads of fun!!
