We did a loop ride that took us on the Coronado Trail road. This road takes you through the copper open pit mine in Morenci, AZ and then for 90 miles of winding blacktop. We stopped in Alpine for lunch at the Bear Wallow Cafe. The total ride was right at 300 miles. The weather was comfortably cool and sunny.
