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

“To surprise my family one year , I planned a vacation at Curry Village. At the time we thought we'd only stay a few days and then continue on to Disneyland. Our daughters at the time were 8 & 10. Coming through the tunnel that opens to the magnificent Yosemite vista...and a tour of the valley floor on our first day...they didn't want to be anywhere but Yosemite! We were able to extend our visit a couple of extra days so that we could enjoy more day hikes and "dream" of making our way to Half Dome! Sipping coffee in the morning in the open auditorium at Camp Curry is a memory I will always savor. We try to return as often as we can. This vacation was one of the most memorable for our family.
