One of the best motorcycle road trip experiences you can ever have is riding through the Coronado Scenic Trail in Arizona. While your eyes see all the enchanting landscapes along the way, let your mind wander (not too far) back in time when the Spanish conquerors and businessmen roamed around the state. The time of the Conquistadors mounted on their horses is gone. Now, it is your turn to find yourself on the same road mounted on a horsepower-generated mode of transportation.
Kick of your journey at the town of Springerville. What makes Springerville a good starting point is the Casa Malpais where you can visit the Casa Malpais Indian Ruins and the Casa Malpais Archaeological Park. The park allows visitors to join the area's recreational activities. Take a break from your motorcycle road trip and take a close look at the preserved Mongolian culture area.
Ride to Eagar, the Gateway to Arizona's White Mountains. No matter what season you plan to take your motorcycle road trip, you are sure to find something you want to see or do - warm spring weather with blossoming flowers, sunny summer with its cool nights, and the brown and orange colors of fall. Take the U.S. Highway 180 to get to your next stop: Alpine. This commercial town is home to settlers and ranchers. Relax those riding muscles and enjoy yourself on the vast mountain meadow watching bald eagles, osprey, geese and wild swans.
Continue forward and visit the Hannagan Meadow where the name Coronado Trail was first coined in 1926. Check in the very hospitable Hannagan Meadow Lodge for the night and enjoy its rustic atmosphere. Both the cabins and the lodge's restaurant, the Hannagan Meadow Dining Room, offer scenic views of the vast forest. They are also adjacent a large meadow where elk and deer herds can be seen grazing. From time to time, you might even see some bears, bobcats and wolves. If you wish to do some extreme sports while you are at the Hannagan Meadow Lodge, activities such as hiking, mountain biking and cross country skiing are available, with equipment available for rent.
The last stop of your Coronado Trail motorcycle road trip should be at the Morenci Open Pit Mine. It is currently visited by people from all over the United States because of its great reputation: copper, silver, turquoise and, of course, gold. The Morenci Open Pit Mine is currently the largest mine and copper producer in North America. People visiting the place go to the Morenci Mine Overlook to see breathtaking views of the mountains that are constantly being mined to provide copper to the country's vehicles, houses and other industries.
The fascinating sights and the stories of nomadic life they represent make the Coronado Trail trip a most memorable one, and perfect for a motorcycle. The open roads and ability to discover more of the country's history and culture make this trail perfect for a motorcycle road trip.
