Mormon Lake Lodge is a wonderful rustic lodge nestled among the pines on the edge of Mormon Lake, Grey’s camping spot on his way to his cabin near Payson.
The Zane Grey Museum at Mormon Lake Lodge features an array of Zane Grey-related books, photographs, paintings, movie posters and other memorabilia. Many objects on display were owned or used by Zane Grey.
When Zane Grey would travel to Payson and his cabin under the Mogollon Rim, he would travel by train to Flagstaff, then take horses and wagons cross country to the cabin site near Payson, Arizona. Mormon Lake was a favorite camping spot on the way to the cabin. The Lodge is located on the edge of the lake itself, and is a wonderful, rustic getaway nestled among pine trees amid the solitude much like it was when Grey camped there in the early 20th century
