Hunt you can descend (it's steep, but very do-able) to less-steep grassy slopes that, eventually, spit you out on the Open Canyon trail on the south side of Mt. (If you like this option, then you should park at and start from the Granite Canyon Trailhead, where you can pick up the Valley Trail 1.2 miles from the trailhead and take that a couple of miles to the Open Canyon Junction.) If you're feeling adventurous (and have some topo maps on hand, whether on your phone or printed), there is a saddle between Coyote Lake and Mt. To descend, the non-adventurous can retrace their steps. Hang out for lunch or camp for the night. Survive this slope though and Coyote Lake is yours. Hiking poles are beneficial to have here. You have to ascend a steep, dirt face sparsely pockmarked with solid rocks and hummocks of grass. This last bit is the most treacherous bit of the bushwhack. Sadly, Coyote Lake is still another 500 vertical feet above you here. The scree field that you think you'll crest and be greeted by the lake is a fake-out. But routes on the south side of the canyon go too. As Coyote Lake is on the northern side of the canyon at its very back, we generally stay more north in this section. Once through the tangle of trees immediately past this switchback, you're walking through glades of wildflowers until you hit slopes of scree higher up.Īs you ascend Open Canyon, there are several route options. If, upon first leaving the trail, you're confronted with a gaping ravine with very steep and loose sides, you need to go back down the trail to the last switchback that had you pointed west. The thickest bushwhacking is the first 5 minutes after you leave the trail. About 2,500 feet above and about eight miles from Teton Village, the trail begins switchbacking up to the divide in earnest. The Open Canyon Trail is mellow, but does climb steadily. Four miles up the Valley Trail, you want to take the Open Canyon Trail. The Valley Trail heads from the base of JHMR into Grand Teton National Park. And then saw no one else the rest of the day-and it was a 10-hour day-until we were nearly at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort tram. Hiking up to this lake, we saw a family within a mile of the trailhead. Coyote Lake though? Well, we were sitting in it in early August and there wasn't so much as an ice cube around. We can't imagine ever having the courage to take a dip in Timberline Lake's waters, with little iceberg-lets floating by. (We don't count Kit Lake too small.) Why is Coyote Lake a favorite? It actually gets ice-free most summers. We might be missing some lesser ones (maybe Alpha and Omega lakes?), but we can think of Icefloe Lake, Timberline Lake, and, our newest fav, Coyote Lake. Have more questions about the Nautical Chart App? Ask us.Grand Teton National Park has only a handful of lakes above 10,000 feet. Autopilot support can be enabled during ‘Goto WayPoint’ and ‘Route Assistance’. Lake navigation features include advanced instrumentation to gather wind speed direction, water temperature, water depth, and accurate GPS with AIS receivers(using NMEA over TCP/UDP). Fishing spots and depth contours layers are available in most Lake maps. The Coyote Lake Navigation App provides advanced features of a Marine Chartplotter including adjusting water level offset and custom depth shading. The fishing maps app include HD lake depth contours, along with advanced features found in Fish Finder / Gps Chart Plotter systems, turning your device into a Depth Finder. With our Lake Maps App, you get all the great marine chart app features like fishing spots, along with Coyote Lake depth map. It is available as part of iBoating : Canada Marine & Fishing App (now supported on multiple platforms including Android, iPhone/iPad, MacBook, and Windows(tablet and phone)/PC based chartplotter.

Coyote Lake fishing map is included in Saskatchewan Fishing Maps nautical charts folio.
