Coronado Trail: Morenci – Springerville
Along this route
About this route
US-191 from just north of the Morenci copper mine up onto the Mogollon Rim and through Alpine to Springerville. The byway officially starts in Clifton; the stretch through the mine area is left out here. Hundreds of curves and very little traffic, climbing from the desert edge to pine forest at about 2,800 m near Hannagan Meadow. There is no fuel between Morenci and Alpine, roughly 145 km. Snow can close the high part in winter.
Check road conditions, closures and opening dates before you ride.
