Coyote Springs Road

Eastern Mojave Vegetation	Coyote Springs Road, Mono County, California
	Tom Schweich

Coyote Springs Road is part of the route between Bridgeport and Lee Vining, from a time before US Highway 395 was routed over Conway Summit. While there seems to be only one Coyote Spring along this road, the plural "springs" seems to be the officially applied name.
