Thank you guys! I like the sound of 191 but not the cold or possibility of snow. I may figure a couple of routes and then watch the weather to make the final decision. So #2 route would be towards Tombstone? Donkeys walkin the streets sounds cool as well......
Thanks again!

Thank you for the heads up! Looking like Oatman will be the destination. So Tucson to Oatman, stroll about a bit, then up to Laughlin to stay at the Pioneer (do I need reservations?). Then find a route from Laughlin back to Tucson. That's on the bid side of what I was thinking, but sounds and looks awesome!

You think another three weeks it'll be warmed up enough for the Coronado Trail? I don't mind the cold so much (heated gear works great) but don't relish the thought of riding in snow.

Did some more checking and found out that 191 is not maintained during the winter. You could try calling the Hannagan Meadow Lodge closer to your trip and ask about the road conditions.
If you can't ride it this trip, I hope you can ride it at some point. I think it's the best ride in AZ and has 525 curves in 70 miles. It is a great ride.

Thanks Scott. Haven't been able to contact anyone yet but looking at the weather in Alpine it looks like mid 60s during the day and low 30s at night. I can live with that and if no storms go through maybe the roads will be clear.

Sorry about not reading the OP more carefully and realizing that the trip is soon, and not later in the year. I think the loop I suggested is a great 2 day ride and the Coronado Trail (Route 191) is one of the best roads around, but the temps and climate at elevation could be a problem this early in the season.
I do know that many sections of the road were repaired and repaved last summer/fall, so if the winter wasn't too bad, it should be in very good condition. If you don't ride it this trip, try and make it out again deeper into the year. It's an awesome part of the country to ride. Wherever you do end up riding, have a great time!
