At the beginning of Chapter Three, you get access to the Junon Region, the hotspot for Mountain Chocobos. When you exit the Mithril Mine, you'll find an Intel Tower in the open area for all information access about the new area.
After checking out all the details, look into your map to find a Chocobo Intel Marker on it towards the west of this Intel Tower. Start heading that way to begin your Mountain Chocobo quest.
Here, you'll find the Stuck in a Rut side quest from Junon's Ranch owner, Gabe. He hands you the Chocobo Intel: Birds of the Mountain, which shows you a general area to locate these Chocobos.
Start heading southwest of the Ranch and keep heading in the general direction. Once you close in on the general Mountain Chocobo area, it'll trigger a stealth minigame. Which means that it's time to catch your Mountain Chocobo.

As mentioned before, stealth is your best friend during the Mountain Chocobo hunt side quest. Use the carts sprawled around in the area to hide yourself from the Chocobos' sight. If you're in sight of them, the minigame restarts from your last checkpoint.

The side quest revolves around catching Belle, a beautiful brown Mountain Chocobo. When the minigame begins, check your right side to find a track and a switch.
Stealthily move towards the switch and long-press to activate it. This will have the carts moving. You must move alongside the cart to keep yourself shielded while heading towards Belle stealthily.
Upon reaching the track's end with the cart, look left and activate the switch there. You'll also find a few rocks lying near the switch. Be sure to pick them up for later.
Start moving alongside the cart you've just called to using the recently activated switch. Up next, press L1 to aim at the switch and the Square to throw a rock to activate. The cart will activate so keep moving along with it to stay hidden.
From here, you'll have to move along towards the next while activating them, steering clear of Belle's sight. Bella will be left of this area. While you're hiding behind this cart, look left, find a switch, and aim to throw a rock at it for activation.
From here, you need to amp up your stealth game and keep your movements sneaky and timely enough to get closer to the bird. Right as you're safely within its position, sneak up from behind Belle and press the Triangle (when it prompts) to mount your first Mountain Chocobo!
In short, finding a Mountain Chocobo in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a quick task. Most of your effort needs to be in sneaking up on one during this stealth side quest. So, try this today and get yourself a mount that helps you traverse the walled areas of Junon.
