Why Mules?

We love our mules We love our mules, and you’ll love them too!  These trail-wise and surefooted animals are perfect for exploring the scenic and rugged terrain in Yosemite National Park.  Combine that with their calm and even temperaments and you have the ideal partner for your trail adventures.  If you prefer horses, we have more of them stabled in Wawona where the terrain is easier and more gentle.  Please note: Riders are paired with animals based on availability and appropriateness.  You will not have a choice of which animal you will ride.

Testimonials

“I went on the highsierra camp loop in 1956 with a guide and loved it. It was the beginning of my love for Yosemite and the hihg country. I am now lucky to be able to do it again in 2010. I can´t wait to do it again. Wonderful experience. I am 78 years old and still can hike 8-10 miles. So you are never too old!!”
