Notes from visits

• • Requires a permit; only 20 people allowed to enter each day.
  • South Coyote Buttes has 2 areas to explore - Paw Hole and Cottonwood Cove. Both are easiest accessed with 4 wheel drive (but warning - you need to be comfortable driving in deep sand); alternatively, you can access the areas via the 2 wheel drive Lone Tree trailhead off House Rock road.
  • Several outfitters in the area also take people to South Coyote Buttes (if you secure a permit first). If you get one, consider hiring an outfitter to take you to White Pocket and South Coyote Buttes in one long day.
