My Ride: Mini Cooper
I love to do a Sunday drive on this road.
you guys must try this out if you live near there.
this road will be a good drive.
With over 400 curves and an elevation change that will take you from 3,500 to 9,000 feet over 96 miles, the Coronado Trail holds the distinction of being one of the twistiest and challenging drives in the lower 48.
The Coronado Trail is part of the highway formerly known as Route 666 that crossed Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico, and was later changed to Highway 491.
This particularly stretch has now been deemed by the Feds as US-191 and the route begins in Clifton, passes the Phelps Dodge mine ? one of the largest open pit mines in the world
this drive should take about 1 hour and 48 minutes.
