mule rides

Trail descent option

Mule rides are guided excursions on mule-back, typically offered at scenic locations with steep or rugged terrain.

The Grand Canyon's mule rides down to the canyon floor are the most famous example.

Mules—horse-donkey hybrids—are preferred over horses for their sure-footedness and calm temperament on narrow trails: We booked mule rides for the whole family.
