The famous Grand Canyon mules are an experience many visitors just cannot miss. You can choose a day trip through the rim forest to The Abyss overlook west of Grand Canyon village. Or, if you want the classic Grand Canyon mule trip, ride the mules down the Bright Angel Trail and spend the night at Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the canyon.
Xanterra, a park concessionaire operating by permit from the National Park Service, operates mule trips on Grand Canyon trails. For further information about mule trips, see Xanterra's website.
