Why 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

“Today marks the day that my parents would be married for 69 years. They married in 1940 and honeymooned in Yosemite staying in a cottage that was at the base of Yosemite Falls. Our family’s love affair with Yosemite began with my mother’s parents coming to Yosemite for their honeymoon in 1913. All my parent’s children have spent a part of their honeymoon in Yosemite as well, thanks to a gift from our grandmother. Yosemite will forever be a place of grandeur, beauty and sweet memories for my family. Though my father is not here to mark this special day in his life with my mother, we still remember that a beautiful young couple came to Yosemite 69 years ago to celebrate the beginning of their many devoted years together. We are forever truly grateful for all that Yosemite means to our family.”
