If you are a grown adult, coyotes aren't that dangerous or scary.
They aren't very big. They will attack small pets and children that are alone, but they typically leave adult humans alone.
I used to go for six mile walks in the High Desert for exercise. I routinely ran into coyotes. They never bothered me.
I did tell my children to not go out alone at night. There had been two or three attacks on children in the previous five years.
I have a dog phobia due to things that happened when I was about four years old. I'm not similarly afraid of coyotes.
Of course, I wouldn't want to run into a large pack in the dark either. They can and will take down deer as a pack and did so sometimes within earshot of my tent when I was homeless.
So, I mean, don't be stupidly cavalier, but lone coyotes are known to not be particularly dangerous to adult humans.
