Las Cruces New Mexico to Chinle Arizona
The start out of Las Cruces was clear and sunny, 2 1/2 hours later we we starting ride number 5 on the list, Coronado Trail.
This is a unique ride as you start outside and drive through a huge, huge copper mine that is active. The road snakes up the mountain and you just see massive equipment and massive tailings that are mountains!
After the climb you continue snaking through and climbing in the pine forest of this mountain range. You never know that this is Arizona as you always think desert. We had cool weather and beautiful vistas. We took it slow through the tight curves and towards the end of the ride we had great downhill sweepers. And at the end we were back in Springerville, AZ where we were a few days ago.
After that we headed for ride #6 which is Monument Valley in Arizona and Utah. We got caught in a storm and waited it out at a gas station. This was the sign to the rest rooms
We ended the day on the reservation at a Best Western in Chinle Arizona.
Another WOW day! LOVE the restroom sign😍😁 Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Just getting caught up and the…Black and White “ crew is having an awesome adventure!! Amazing how there is to see and experience when on the back roads.
