About
AZ High Mountain Trail Rides was established in 2020 by Robert Pablo, who brought his passion and expertise to the operation after acquiring the horses from Eddie Pisciotta. With years of experience working at the renowned KOLI Equestrian Center, Robert is committed to providing exceptional horseback riding adventures at Mormon Lake Lodge. Although AZ High Mountain Trail Rides began in 2020, guided horseback riding has been a cherished activity in the Mormon Lake area since the early 2000s. We are proud to continue this tradition, offering scenic and enjoyable trail rides for visitors of all ages and skill levels.
Our Mission
AZ High Mountain Trail Rides is committed to providing:
- Well-trained, well-cared-for horses
- Experienced, professional wranglers
- A safe, relaxing, and enjoyable experience
Trail Riding for All Experience Levels
Our trails are perfect for beginner riders and families, as well as seasoned equestrians looking for a peaceful ride through nature. Safety is our top priority:
- We do not allow running of our horses due to the mountainous, tree-lined terrain, potential ground-burrowing animals, and abundant natural wildlife.
- Riders must always listen to and stay with our experienced staff.
- Riders are required to stay on designated trails to minimize their impact on our national forest (this includes no littering on ride).
What to Expect
Each ride begins with a brief instruction session from one of our knowledgeable wranglers to ensure your comfort and safety. Once you’re ready, you’ll saddle up for an unforgettable journey along some of the most breathtaking forest trails.
Our wranglers are passionate about what they do and love sharing the stunning beauty of the Coconino National Forest with our guests. Whether you’re here for the views, the wildlife, or the adventure, we aim to make your trail ride a truly special experience.
