Coronado Trail ride

We (myself a bunch of riders from work) are planning a Coronado Trail ride June 1-2 (Sat-Sun). We will ride to Safford and take US-191 through Clifton, Morenci (huge open pit mine), and Hannagan Meadow to Alpine. We are staying at the Tal-Wi-Wi Lodge in Alpine. Sunday morning we will continue N to Springerville/Eagar, then to Show Low and either take the 60 through Salt River Canyon or the 260 through Payson to get back to the Valley.

The Coronado Trail, for my money, is the best ride in AZ. We will go over 3 mountain passes at 7400', 8400' and 9400' and has more twisties than most people can handle. It is always a welcome break from the Valley heat. It's an annual ritual for our group, although I have had to miss the past couple of years due to work. This will be my first trip on the Harley. Make sure you bring rain gear, it usually always rains on us at some point. Hopefully, we planned this trip early enough in the year that we won't get wet.

Anyone who wants to tag along is welcome. Rooms at Tal-Wi-Wi are in the $90 range. There is a less expensive option at the Mountain Hi Lodge, just a few miles from the Tal-Wi-Wi. The Tal-Wi-Wi has a cafe and bar, which is why we are staying there. Alpine is gorgeous this time of year!

If anyone is interested, let me know.
