The Mormon Lake/Pinewood Snowmobile Trail System provides approximately 54 miles of designated snowmobile routes south of Flagstaff with four trailheads with parking. The trail system is supported through a grant from the Arizona State Parks. Although primarily used by snowmobilers in the winter, be alert for dog sledders, cross country skiers, and other winter sport enthusiasts.

The trail system features Mormon Mountain, an extinct volcano ranging between three and thirteen million years old. The trail also runs near Mormon lake, often the largest natural lake in Arizona. You may find historic sites including remnants of past timber railroads, a dairy, and other structures. The trail system is primarily within the ponderosa pine forest and is at an elevation of 6,500 to 7,500 feet.

These areas are home to elk, deer, coyote, porcupine, squirrel and other animals. Keep in mind that these animals need to conserve energy over the long winter months. Chasing or harassing animals forces animals to expend valuable energy they need to survive over the winter. Enjoy wildlife from a distance.
