Coyote Butte South
Back in January I signed up for Coyote Butte permits, but accidentally got South instead of North. So, I guess The Wave is out. Does anyone have suggestions about where to go down there? Routes and pictures are greatly appreciated.
Thanks...

You will need a 4WD to enjoy South Coyote Buttes. Here is a list of some interesting places you can visit there with your permit.
Cobra Arch
White Pocket
Steamboat Rock
Cottonwood Teepees
Paw Hole

I finally got some permits too, North for me on the 22nd of April.
They do have walk in permits so you may be able to get one for the north, but the south does look pretty cool.

My travel partner and me will be at the Coyotes Buttes South on May, 29.
Someone else there in the area during this time?
The day before we will be at the White Pocket and we will stay there overnight. Has someone done this before in this area? I know, an overnight stay isn't allowed in the permit area of the CBS, but what about White Pocket?
Greetz,
Yvonne

You might be more comfortable staying in the campground. There are four sites. 2 in arizona and 2 in Utah. Its the stateline campground. You can build a fire there and there are toilets and picnic tables. If you get a spot on the Arizona side there is even a nice gazebo. The sites are first come first use.
Since you are going to White Pockets you probably know the Coyote Buttes area well. Consider hiking out to the Wahweap Hoodoos while you are in the area. We camped out a few nights and saw a lot of the South Coyote Buttes area, but then also headed out the the Wahweap Hoodoos. May is a great time for that hike. Its too hot in the summer, just like Coyote Buttes.

That's a real cool Pic. I see, I need more time for the area.
Both, Cobra Arch and Steamboat Rock I haven't seen yet , I think that is something for my next trip into the area.
I'm not sure, how long we will need for the South Teepees and Paw Hole, but I always need a lot of time for all that pictures and strolls around in such areas.
How much time did you need from the Poverty Flat Ranch to reach the
Steamboat Rock Parking Area?

Just wanted to add to the info that Kris247 was seeking: You can easily navigate House Rock Rd in a 2wd passenger car when the road is dry or at least not waterlogged. When you reach the Paw Hole turn-off you can drive another half mile up that road past Lone Pine Reservoir to where deep sand in the road comes into play. There are several obvious spots to pull off and leave your car or even camp. It's about a 40-45 minute hike along the road/sandy track to get to the Paw Hole teepee formations. From the trailhead its only a 10 or 15 minute slog to get to the wave-like area. See Tanya's photo above. If you continue slogging another 1.5 mile or so in a northernly direction you'll reach a rim overlook where you can see the north teepees as well as the cottonwood teepees. If it's a cool day, you might amble on down the gentle slopes and hike on for a closer visit.

Thanks for the information and pictures - it looks like we're going to have some great hiking down there. (And some great picture opportunities. Note to self: get a polarizing filter).
My permit is for the Lone Tree Trailhead. From what I've read on the Arizona BLM website I should be able to get there in a 2WD car (unless the road is wet).
We're planning on going down the weekend of March 31 - so I'm probably jumping the gun a bit with this thread. I'm just really excited to go.

I have permits for 2/22 for the north.
Tayna, what other sort hikes can we do in the area ? We hope to be in the area for a few days. I will have my 3 year old with me who has graduated from his child carrier (he is too heavy) he is slow but a slow but a great hiker.
More or less is am looking for a few short "weekend warrior" type hikes that are great a for a small child.
