The Grand Canyon North Rim Mule Rides were severely limited by the 2011 Grand Canyon Stock Use Plan. There are now ONLY 48 mule saddles daily available to take you to the Supai Tunnel in Grand Canyon National Park from the North Rim.
All rides are with experienced guides and our mules are selected for their gentle temperament, being trail wise and sure footed. Shuttle bus to trail head leaves the lodge one half hour before trip departure times.
Used for their strength and stability beginning in the 1920s, mules have carried visitors from around the world (including President Theodore Roosevelt) down the precipitous canyon trails. Contemporary mule wranglers guide the one-hour to half-day rides, and share their extensive knowledge of the canyon.
The Mangum family and their wranglers offer a fun, safe mule ride into the Grand Canyon available from mid-May to mid-October. They have over 20 years of experience guiding riders through the Grand Canyon’s North Rim, Zion National Park, and Bryce Canyon National Park.
