@@earledward8766 I can barely watch it. Literally get dizzy trying to watch people climb towers and such. Stopped at 3 minutes on this one. It's beautiful though.
I never realized that the Bright Angel trail is so rugged with holes and rocks. I have only seen it as it starts off from the rim. My legs would never take the punishment. I often thought of taking the mule train. The mules are awesome. Thanks for posting, this was well done.
No way, never. Not even if my life counted on it. Watching the little that I did I got dizzy, nauseated, anxiety and a panic attack. I felt like I was about to fall off the side of a mountain. No thank you.
@z not over doing anything, sir. i have neurological and medical conditions that limit my physical ability to leave my home including grand mal seizures, generalized anxiety, major panic attacks, as well as i am classified as a fall risk. thank you for your comment. Blessings.
Canyons are awesome. Beautiful! Yes, I think I would like to ride a mule into the canyon. As long as I don't get bucked off, of course. Great video. Thank you!
Man, you are brave! a mule named Skidmark? ah heck no. ha ha. Although the story of these rides says there have been ZERO incidents since it's inception in the late 1880's
Carl Makula ....I just sent it on to my 69year old cousin.......we did that in 1958, when we Were 8.....,.it was an awesome ride & day, I still have the pictures.
i have hiked both the rim to rim trail and taken the Mules from Phantom Ranch to the top of Bright Angel Trail after a river rafting trip...Would rather hike the trail than do that Crazy Mule ride again...In fact I would rather hike up and down twice rather than taking 1 mule ride up or down..
@@aceyorba are the mules not safe or do they just not want to walk the trail ? They seem to move along pretty smoothly in the video. Just asking as I've always wanted to do this.
@@tagyouritification it's really fun and most definitely safe, mules are very sure footed animals even more so than horses. They will move fine, its just that some people have trouble getting them to start moving because they are to gentle and scaced. You really have to kick them or give them a little whip with the back of the reins to start movin but after that its very enjoyable.
hi ... great video, We rode in Bryce Canyon in May 2019, which was also great. ( 3 hours peek-a-boo loop trail. wonderful tour. ) who was the organizer of this tour. Canyon trail raiders? and what tour was that? we want to go to las vegas again next year and go on a horseback tour again. Looking forward to your answer. Thank´s
After a long & hot walk down the canyon, I was sure the Mules would be drinking gallons of water from the Colorado or tributary, but no such footage. ???
No obese folks allowed. The limit is 180 pounds. Mules are HUGE animals! They blow right by you heading up the Kaibab. Pretty amazing how powerful they are.
Great video! We are planning a family vacation to the Grand Canyon and my 8 year old keeps watching your video. What is the name of the first song? He keeps asking me to buy it for him. Thanks!
There is no age limit to ride the mules but there is a minimum height requirement. You also much be under 200 pounds. These rules are strictly enforced.
wow Id love this....absolutely breathtaking Id be I think frightened and may have to shut my eyes and trust an ass to guide me lol lol lol but maybe id be so in aw of the view the silence except for hooves..it would be just total adventure the music was excellent...really enjoyed it...
Mules are very sure footed and have a strong sense of self preservation. They are not likely to stumble or fall. I weigh 211 so I guess I will have to walk. A mule that can only carry 200 pounds is more donkey than mule.
Admire the people and mules as this is way too high up for me plus no guard rails, dangerous ride. If a mule got spooked you could fall instantly to your death.
About 5.5 hours from what I was told when I visited a long time ago (and what multiple sources will tell you if you took the 30 seconds to Google that question).
Robert Carter I road up the mountain in santorini on a donkey and was so frightened but felt liberated after. Now I want to ride a mule down the canyon. ☺️
No way, never. Not even if my life counted on it. Watching the little that I did I got dizzy, nauseated, anxiety and a panic attack. I felt like I was about to fall off the side of a mountain. No thank you.
@Robert Carter Mules always have firm feet and animal instinct to find the path even at night. It's a great adventure, as on the times of Old West. It makes me feeling myself as an old cowboy. In Peruvian Andes, you can find some canyons similar to the Colorado one. Wilderness is the best thing on earth.
Loved this. As a 19-year old in the late 60's, hiking the Grand Canyon was first on my list, which is now known as The Bucket List. I spent the night at the Phantom Ranch and came back the next day. I have since partially walked the Bright Angel Trail several times. Of the dozens of national parks I have been to, Grand Canyon is still one of my favorites.
why i am feeling like my heart is in my hand while i watching this on my phone lol this trip is not for the faint hearted and animals are sensitive if you are scared chances are they will be too. This one trip if i ever visit i might not take 😂🙈
@Ken Hofer Ahww Ken, leave him alone. He's probably a City Slicker Millennial who doesn't know his A$$ from a hole in the ground. Don't worry, that type is always the first to go in a disaster.
@@patricialynnmoore Yes I always tell my mother the truth. Perhaps you would be more comfortable in a safe space where everything is Rainbows and Unicorns. Possibly California.
I get vertigo just watching ! They have mule trails like this all round Sicily, but not this dangerous. Owned horses for years, one of these things I enjoy most is the feeling of being in nature and at peace with the world. Hard to vicariously enjoy this with the music.
I love mules ever since i rode my uncled mule in mexico he is a 22 year old and super smart docile and strong plus he loves me cause i spent hours just being around him
How could anybody put that kind of abuse on an animal Is it obvious that you don’t care about yourselves but you don’t care about the safety of your animals either sickening this is not wise
I've been to the Grand Canyon 3 times and marvel at the views! But I have to admit, your views were much better! I will never be able to do what you did, because of an imbalance disorder, so I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing! Personally, I thought the music was very fitting! Thank you again! ❤🌵🐎❤
Thank you for sharing this video with us!!!! We are planning a trip to the Grand Canyon at some point. I’ve wondered about the mule rides offered at the Canyon, but never knew anyone who had tried it. Now I have a sense of what it’s like. It is an absolutely gorgeous trail!!! The mules are incredible, wondered how many times they’ve gone up and down those trails. They sure are sure-footed! Maybe I’ll muster up enough nerve to try it 🥴
I've wanted to do this for a long time but I have a very healthy fear of heights. This video gave me so many visceral gut reactions, I'm not sure I could do it. I'd have to constantly remind myself "Trust the mule. Just trust the mule." And I'd be so nervous the entire ride, I probably wouldn't enjoy myself.
Early 80s, I hiked the bright angel trail, from top to bottom 11 times, I was making money carrying peoples back packs from the bottom up to the top and leave gear at the Lodge , then I would walk back down and meet them on the trail get paid and bring up another pack. I did this 11 times over the course of 3 days. At $40 a pack💫. Loved every minute of it.
This is the BEST video of the GC mule ride I have seen! You captured all the scenic, scary, and experiential highlights. The music is perfect too. It brings back such great memories of this epic experience. Thanks for creating and sharing it!
Some y'all know you too big to be stressing them animals out. Money don't buy a horses back happiness. No consideration for the horse's back when you eatin' all the garlic bread potatoes and steak.
I did this trip to the phantom ranch about 20 years ago. What an awesome experience and amazing views. And that river water was the coldest water I every felt.
@Dog Gone , One answer , the mules will not do that ! They are not stupid. You can not make a mule do something stupid like that even with a four foot long 2 X 4 !
Trust an animal with my life safety? Hm....NO! I bet the scene is fantastic but still NO. My Palms and feet are sweating just by looking at the video! 😲😲

Thank you! I want to do this now. Canyon has always been on my list, this is the best way to see it.
This is an awesome video! thanks for putting it together.
Thanks for posting. Been there, enjoyed the "at first, scary" ride. Learned to trust my mule "Skidmark" and I would do it again.

Mules do it every day...almost always without an accident.
I'd love to do this, I bet the waiver signed before the ride is 20 pages long. LOL
Believe it or not, there is no waiver.

Gotta be kewl!!!!! Be friends and be cool walking so nothing goes wrong.
Damn that would be a great ride to go on. 1 great adventure there.
My concern would be the mule's endurance and the weight of some people.
Now I want to do this! How long did your trip take?

The mule would find me so heavy, he'd wanna ride on my back.
Which company did you go with and how long was your trip?
Lovely ride beautiful
I always wondered, do these trailers have a weight limit? Please keep the ton heffer off these animals.
Looks to be exciting and the vista lovely...but I can’t deal with heights,what a shame.
ave been wanting to check out the grand canyon maybe renting out these mules is not a bad idea
Que chulada de paseo me encantaria andar alli

I feel sorry for those mules
It's their job. They get bored just hanging around the corral.
There is nothing to be sorry about, animals enjoy helping humans, and that is the way it should be
@@patricialynnmoore Sarcasm, ?
The Mules like their walk as much as anything, besides, it's good for their health, staying in good shape and all.

I have been there and all that was formed by a huge burst of rushing water, its so evident.
the abundance of in situ right side up fossils proves that you're wrong
Is this a one day trip , i would love to do it
Mules are very sure footed and have a strong sense of self preservation. They are not likely to stumble or fall. I weigh 211 so I guess I will have to walk. A mule that can only carry 200 pounds is more donkey than mule.
By the time you finish the trail on foot, you'll be under the required weight, so next time they'll let you on the mule.
Waoooo Que aventuras. Me. Gustarias. ?
Beautiful picture. but I have a fear ofheights
Admire the people and mules as this is way too high up for me plus no guard rails, dangerous ride. If a mule got spooked you could fall instantly to your death.
@@FLsheepdog1 Yea, but they still spook. I'd rather die in my sleep.

@@skidude02 fuck you
Let’s face it those mules are amazing let alone the Grand Canyon
You captured the magnitude; what a tribute to this wonder of our world! Bravo! Thank you for letting me travel vicariously with you!! Extreme!

WOW
I wish I was brave enough to try this while visiting. I just don't have the nerves...yet.😁
Absolutely fantastic! I was privileged to ride the Mules in the summer of 1976 . . . so unforgettable!
No F-ING way!!!
I'll only go on one of these tours with a parachute strapped to my back just in case.
" Hi this is Sam the slightly suicidal mule"
Thanks so much for a GREAT video!!!!!

No, no, no can't do that. Thanks for the scary ride. No. No. Beautiful but not for me.♡ from texas
Not for me or my loved ones ever. We'd all rather die in our sleep.
I loved this amazing video. I know you'd never get me to do that lol TFS
Whether you care to realize it or not you are putting those mules in extreme danger
Excellent video - great music! I did the mule ride back in 1976 - your video was like a time machine to the days of my youth!! THANKS!
I would have walk or crawled back before first turn.

Ha, what a great idea, I would have paid you a hundred. I seriously considered tossing my whole backpack into the river.
Such a sad display of animal abuse. If you are too lazy to hike in and out of the canyon maybe you should stay home.

I’ve done this and I loved it if you are scared you can do one we’re you don’t go in the canyon
That's great to know thanks
