Coyote Flat

Status Unknown Moderate 9,200 ft ~16 miles rocky/two-track

Coyote Flat sits on a high-desert plateau in the Eastern Sierra with panoramic views of the White Mountains and Owens Valley below. The mellow rocky two-track is perfect for stock trucks and newer overlanders who want genuine high-country terrain without extreme technical difficulty. The Inyo National Forest setting is dramatic — big sky, open terrain, and far fewer crowds than the Sierra's west slope.
