My bad. I live where the mules, or a lot of them, are from. I should have remembered that.

If you are going on foot, be prepared. We rode the donkeys down and up the trail which was scary but fun. There were so many "refugees" scattered along the trail when we were going back up we were giving them our water and snacks; they were woefully unprepared for what they were trying to tackle. It was June and hotter than hell deep down in the canyon.

Bright Angel trail? Great photo by the way.
