The Stables at Bishop's Lodge
Trail Riding
Horses are as much a part of the West as glorious sunsets. Our private stables are home to trained wranglers ready to get you trail-ready whether you're setting off on your family's first trail ride or you're an experienced rider out to explore our ever-changing scenery, from craggy creek bottoms to endless high trails through the Santa Fe National Forest.

Trail Riding at Bishop's Lodge
Journey on meandering trails under a canopy of magnificent pine, aspen and piñon trees or take in breathtaking panoramic views atop a sun-splashed mesa. Our private stables has direct access to countless acres of exclusive trails. Let our wranglers design and guide you on a trail ride suited to your experience level, from novice to expert, or plan a pony ride for younger adventurers. Located at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, ride typography features everything from high trails in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, to steep arroyos, river beds and stream crossings. Pleasant rides throughout the foothills are one and two hours, while adventures ranging out into the Sante Fe National Forest are all day outings.
