AZ Highway 191 - Safford to Alpine

It's known as the Coronado trail. Do it at least once.

I personally would not do in a RV. Did it in a pickup with cab over camper and it took 4 hrs from Alpine to Morenci. Too many curves and if sign say 15 MPH better plan on 10 or less. We also have done this on motorcycles and it still took a while particularly if you stop and look at the FEW turnouts.

Pretty good pull going north bound

With your 25' MH you'll have no problems. We did it with our 40' MH (by mistake). :) Since then we've purchased the 'Mountain Directory for RVers and Truckers' and have never done a mountain road again without first researching it. It is a beautiful drive - especially in October when we did it.

There is not any mine trucks on 191 pickups only, big trucks are restricted. There is a big mine at the south end of it but they are working at the mine not traveling up and down 191. It is a pretty ride but you will be traveling through some rugged country with some sharp but doable turns and no services. After a couple hours you'll be in Springerville. Not much in Alpine but some pretty country. You just really need to be on your toes on parts of it mainly because of the turns, curves while watching for on coming traffic, which will be very little ..

If you're not in a hurry, 10 to 35 mph North of the mine. After Hannigan's Meadow 50-55 mph. Worth doing once in a car, wouldn't tow my 5er now. We go over Mule Pass on Hwy 79, then on to Glenwood and on to Alpine. Also a pretty drive. A little quicker.

With your rig no problem at all. Definitely lots of twisty turns all the way but a great road. And no mining trucks ever use that road. They haul out to the south. Top off your gas tank though and maybe check weather conditions just for the heck of it. It's high up. There is a 12 foot 7 tunnel down at the south end and be sure to pull off and check down into the massive Mining pit before heading on up the road.
