land-adventures · Trinity Center
Escape into the Trinity Alps on a guided, two-hour horseback ride from Trinity Center. Small groups, creek crossings, and alpine views make this an ideal introduction to mountain riding for families and first-time equestrians.
Mountain M Outfitters, based in Trinity Center, California, operates guided horseback rides through the Trinity Alps. The outfitter offers two signature trips: a 2 Hour Trail Ride that winds along creeks and forest trails and is suitable for all skill levels, and a 4-5 Hour Lunch Ride to Stoddard Lake that includes a catered lunch and extended backcountry riding. Riders encounter mountain views, peaceful waterways, and varied terrain under the direction of local guides.
The company matches riders with well-trained horses, provides a safety orientation before each ride, and leads groups on established trails through forested ridges, creekside paths, and open meadows. The shorter trail ride is ideal for those seeking a scenic introduction to horseback riding, while the longer lunch ride provides a relaxed stop at Stoddard Lake for a meal and extended mountain scenery. Reservations are recommended to secure preferred dates and group times.
