Motorcycling

Have you ridden the Coronado Trail lately? The 120 miles of US 191 between Clifton and Springerville rank in the top 10 scenic byways in the country; the 90 miles south of Alpine are probably in the top 3 for motorcyclists. Easily exceeding 500 curves, and with rarely a straight stretch of road longer than a quarter mile, the Trail is known for its narrow mountain-grade that snakes along the sides of a mountain range. Once numbered US 666, the Coronado Trail retains its earlier nickname “The Devil’s Highway.”

Other motorcycling roads nearby include – US Highway 261, US Highway 180 from Alpine to New Mexico, SR 78 , and SR 15 in New Mexico.
