Solo Coyote Buttes South thoughts: We went Southern approach to sandstone teepee area starting at 6:50 AM. Winter visits required early starts for good light. Sand and slickrock mix, GPS essential. Overall 5/5. Difficulty 3/5. Scenery 5/5. Short version: Download your map before you lose service. Hope this helps.
