The Coronado Trail Scenic Byway (US Highway 191) is one of the most thrilling motorcycle roads in the United States. Winding through the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, this legendary route features hundreds of curves, dramatic elevation changes, breathtaking mountain vistas, and very little traffic. From desert landscapes to cool pine forests, the Coronado Trail delivers an unforgettable riding experience and is one of the premier destinations in the Harley-Davidson 50 Rides Challenge.
