Add to My List Check Off

The Coronado Trail/ US191 has a rich history going as far back as Francisco Vázquez de Coronado a Spanish conquistador and explorer who led a large expedition from what is now Mexico to present-day Kansas through parts of the southwestern United States between 1540 and 1542 this expedition included the Coronado Trail. The Coronado Trail/US 191 is also part of what was previously US Route 666 or more commonly referred to as “The Devil’s Highway”. Being referred to as “The Devil’s Highway” of course because of the correlation of the number of the beast, as you can imagine with there was often talk of strange, supernatural problems, with some people even claiming the highway was cursed. In 1992 Arizona successfully petitioned to have the Highway/Route renumbered. The Coronado Trail connecting Clifton to Alpine is one of the great classic rides in the nation. The spectacular roadway retraces the steps of the Spanish Conquistadors of the 1500's, offering some of the most breathtaking scenery in the Southwest. Cool in the summer, delightful in the winter, the curves, vistas and wildlife of the Coronado Trail will have you savoring this bucket-list trip. Look for fishing, hunting, hiking camping, cross-country skiing and many other outdoor activities along the Trail.
