Coronado Trail Scenic Byway
Alpine, AZ

The town of Alpine at an elevation of 8050 ft. sits along a mountain meadow at the base of rocky peaks and was named by immigrant pioneer settlers after their beloved Alps. Founded during Indian hostilities, Alpine was first a small fort and later a commercial hub for settlers and ranchers. At the nearby Luna Lake Wildlife Refuge, nesting Gold and Bald eagles, Osprey, geese, and wild swans can be seen. Numerous nearby lakes and streams offer prime high country hiking, camping and fishing.
