Coyote Lake (Teton County, Wyoming)
Coyote Lake is located in Grand Teton National Park, in the U. S. state of Wyoming.[2] Situated .70 miles (1.13 km) north-northwest of Mount Hunt, Coyote Lake lies in a cirque nearly surrounded by several unnamed peaks each nearly 11,000 feet (3,400 m) above sea level.[2] Coyote Lake can be reached from the Open Canyon Trail but requires off trail navigation to access.[3] The camping area on the east side of Coyote Lake, opposite Coyote Lake Lodge, is accessed from the west, roughly opposite the face of Mount Hunt. The west side of the lake is low and sandy with very little shade making the hike to the east side difficult.
