Coyote ridge is a nice trail that is easy to access from Fort Collins and Loveland. It offers some great views of the front range and the plains and is fairly rocky in spots.
From Fort Collins, get onto Taft Hill Rd heading south towards Loveland, once you pass the land fill on your right go another 1.5/2 miles till you see the parking lot on the right hand side.<br /><br />From Loveland, get onto Taft Hill Rd heading North, if you pass the Fort Collins land fill you have gone to far, turn around and follow the directions above.
