Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
The Coronado National Memorial in Hereford, Arizona was created to interpret the historic Coronado Expedition. It was an expedition of conquest that was filled with wonder, exploration, and sadly, cruelty. 339 soldiers from Europe and more than 1,000 Aztecs left on the expedition inspired by the stories of Cibola, the cities of gold. This journey took them through rugged mountains and deserts.
They brought new technologies with them and encountered rich traditions. The combination and collision of culture that results still reverberates today. The park provides sweeping views of the San Pedro River, the corridor believed to be used by the expedition.
