Drove through Coronado National Monument and then took the Coronado Peak trail. It is only about 1/2 mile but climbs 300 feet. Really enjoyed the introductory video about Coronado at the ranger station. Lucky for the native Indians that he ended up in Kansas! The video made the information plaques along the trail more interesting.

The trail brings you up to the top...

Had some time to spare and drove over to the Monument and then up to the peak. The road is reasonable, bit bumpy so do not go there with sports cars. parked at the top and hiked up to the peak. The views were stunning and gave a great sense of the vastness of the southwest just by looking across...
