More than 800 miles of
trail allow exploration of areas by horseback on trails
into areas that would otherwise be inaccessible.
(See
information on hiking trails as horses may share most
developed hiking trails http://www.tracks-pinetop-lakeside.org/.)
The Tracks Organization have developed 180
miles of trails that are cared for by their organization for the
use of the those who love to enjoy the forest lands and
appreciate the trails, and join with other users keeping them
pristine.
Riding is usually done in the same areas as
hiking since separate trails are not provided. If you need to
tie you horses they should be tied to a rope stretched between
trees, not directly to live trees so as to not damage the bark
or roots that could potentially kill the tree..
Corrals are located at Gabaldon, KP Cienega, and Strayhorse Campgrounds.
