The mule ride was the highlight of our trip. We rode the mules down to the bottom and stayed and Phantom Ranch. I will recommend this to all of my friends. I was concerned that I would have problems with being afraid of the cliffs. But no problem, I was too busy having fun, talking, taking pictures and just taking... more

This was the scariest but most fantastic thing I have ever done. I had complete trust in the mules. They are very calm and well trained. Seeing the canyon from the inside gives you even more appreciation of the unbelievable views. Your legs will be sore by the time you reach the bottom, but it is easier riding up than... more

Great time! But you definitely shouldn't be afraid of heights. But I totally trusted the mules. They are very sure-footed, just like they tell you. You will be sore, back, butt, possibly knees. Take NSAIDs before, during and after, and plan a trip to the hot tub. The view at Plateau Point of the Colorado and canyon is amazing. Our... more

The mule ride into the Grand Canyon was a wonderful experience. The mules are very cute, well-behaved and very safe. The ride includes amazing vistas of the canyon. The tour guide (mule trainer) is very knowledgable of the canyon geology. The lunch was fairly healthy and ice cold. I was initially worried that the trip would be scary, but it... more

Riding a mule to the bottom of the Grand Canyon-- how could this not be an awesome trip? It was at the same time absolutely breathtaking, and incredibly scary! Since everyone agrees that it is amazing, I'll try instead to answer the questions I had before I left. First of all, they are not kidding that the mules walk on... more

This is quite possibly the scariest--and at the same time--most exhilarating thing I have ever done! What a fantastic way to see the Canyon! Descending into the Canyon--as opposed to just looking over the rim-- gives you such a different perspective of its magnificence. Knowledgeable wranglers give you historical and geographical information on the Canyon, as they lead small groups... more

We rode down the Canyon and up again with a Navaho/Hopi mule guide, Anslem. He was wonderful and really made us tow the line. He was so kind to my husband, who is an amputee and paid special attention to him while mounting and dismounting. Anslem can really handle the mules and I saw him handle his mule, Lopez, shortly... more

What an adventure of a lifetime: riding a mule down into the Grand Canyon. Would I do this again? In a heartbeat. Actually we did the one day trip. The next time, we'll do the overnight trip which goes to the bottom of the canyon. They feed you a super sized steak for dinner. Enough said. Ok. I was really... more
