"Skeleton Point" Grand Canyon Mule Ride

Here is a snippet from our ride. I plan to upload and edit all the GoPro videos I have into one master file but for now, you'll get the just from this clip. Enjoy!!

[@schoi604]

That’s an insane ride!!

[@reniehandler2595]

Always worry about that one mule who has just had enough or feels suicidal.

[@katjones5187]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@dogmom7698]

Thanks for sharing! How scary but cool!!

[@celticboy200]

Good example of the mule being smarter than the rider !

[@REV-mu5tu]

had same thought

[@l963nnn2]

I would be afraid of mule getting spooked. 😨

[@michellefury12345]

Ive competed on hunters n jumpers my entire life....for people who say they ride there sure are some beyond ignorant comments....Erin...hope you had fun...I'm afraid of heights so you are much braver than myself!!

[@JGKpenny]

I am not sure if it is the same with mules but when a horses ears are flat and sideways it usually means they are thinking about bucking

[@kmdaley916]

Umm no no no no! Covering my face😮. One slip and down down down down you go! I wonder if anyone has fallen way down? Scary!

[@bikebloggerhn837]

excelente paisaje

[@spacecatboy2962]

the mules think............why cant they walk it themselves instead of riding our asses

[@palangnar3588]

Because that,s the way is, they have no choice, poor guys.Many animals are the same in this world!!

Why was she using the whip when the mule was doing nothing wrong...🙄🤪🤔

A WARNING IS A BEAUTIFUL THING TO THE WISE AND PRUDENT !!! THAT'S LIKE SAYING: LOOK MULE, DON'T DO NO FOOL.... !!! 😇 AND WHERE WILL YOU SPEND ETERNITY !!! ISAIAH 1:14-20. REVELATIONS 2O:11-15. LUKE 16:19-31. THANK YOU

[@chrisalexander5900]

I would have to wonder?. What if something spooked the donkey and it all of a sudden starting going nuts. Like a snake. Then you and mr. Donkey goes over the edge. CWA

[@johndemeen5575]

How do keep a mule happy? Thanks from.St. Paul Minnesota.

[@histolee]

It's amazing It's Scary ,

[@trwent]

Is this on the Bright Angel or the South Kaibab Trail?

[@sophiasimon2176]

why the hell would u do this

[@toangy6085]

Ohhh my god . where. Your go baby

[@weiluke982]

十分勇敢 十分可爱的毛驴！

[@williamwebb7917]

That’s America for you.

[@johnganshow5536]

I wouldn't trust the mule, I'd walk. And have hiked down Bright Angel, also Grandview trails. Wouldn't do it on a mule though...

[@thetruepatriot7733]

Your literally trusting your life to a donkey... better hope that donkey doesn't trip, or have a sudden heart attack. Mountain goats are capable of climbing amazingly steep mountains but every once in awhile they do fall to there deaths.

[@charlesbunyard5267]

Nelly seems to be limping on right side

[@ShadowReine]

That mule you were riding, was/is his name Sam?

[@anacorrea5202]

Meu Deus que lugar é esse .alguem pode me responder em português. Obrigado.que pais .sou Brasil

[@Jimrondeau9]

So happy I did that!!

[@lesliefreeman4955]

You slapping and hitting with the whip. They do this everyday and didn’t need your abuse

[@deloresredman4792]

Looks thrilling but dangerous as fuck

[@petronilogonzalez1420]

que tire la mula un reparo o se asuste y Bay Bay al boladero

[@hildam53]

why are you whipping the animal???

[@tsmgguy]

According to the guides, they aren't whips, they're "motivators". It's done to encourage the animals to maintain a close interval, which is safer.

[@mofishking6667]

tsmgguy I'm soryyy but that is literally the most uneducated and gullible thing I have ever heard. It's a freakin whip. Also the person in the video is using it for no reason, even if the donkey did become "motivated" from the whip the donkey in front of it would block the way so they shouldn't be given to riders in the first place.

[@tsmgguy]

Of course it's a whip. Take the ride. Listen to what the head wrangler has to say in his briefing. Keep in mind that these people know what they're doing: in over 100 years, they've never lost a dude.

[@BillyBob-qh9fm]

maybe they like it.. i loved to be whipped by women

[@ShadowReine]

A. They are mules, not donkeys. B. It really is safer to keep them caught up. C. The person in the video was using it because the mule was stopping, poss. to say hi to the hikers.

[@claudiosoto2447]

Ése dé campera verde demasiado estúpido por ir molestando al pobre animal menos mal que le dieron un animal MÁS INTELIGENTE QUE ÉL

That's too much trust in that animal and it's footing.

[@stephensmith7399]

breathe taking

[@moniquem830]

Up and down those treacherous trails every day.

[@anjou6497]

Yes, poor mules they don't enjoy it. If their knee buckles or they trip they probably get smacked....daft humans. 🤔🌄

[@DavidREllisAZ]

Stop patting the mule, rub never pat

Shut up.

Why keep slapping the mule for,it’s going fine...u can’t ride luv.

[@issabelles]

susan brown sorry she was just making sure the mule was listening to her because they sometimes can just zone out

The Grand Canyon mule rides are a tourist attraction “Luv” Anyone can ride them

[@soomee1000]

There's no bridging and no collers on those mules, I bet you are riding with the wrong saddles to!!!!!

[@Carlb8]

Are you trying to say "breeching" and "collars?"

[@dogmom7698]

@@Carlb8 and “too” 😉

[@REV-mu5tu]

Don't use Collars for riding only driving.yes some of them have breeching or a tail crouper

[@asportableskatesharpening4207]

Horses like to be rubbed, not slapped, they view it as punishment

[@nightlizard8595]

As PortableSkateSharpening they don't view soft pats as punishment...unless you punish your animals like that

[@asportableskatesharpening4207]

Those are not soft pats, they are slaps, watch the video. They like rubs wayyyyyy better, especially on the edge of a cliff, LOL...

[@nightlizard8595]

As PortableSkateSharpening I did watch it...few times actually. They're pats. You don't know what this animal prefers just because a few horses supposedly prefer rubs. Maybe pay attention lol

[@Jess-he9fc]

It’s a mule

[@webechillin2348]

Yikes!

[@moniquem830]

Just plain old animal abuse.

[@nightlizard8595]

BarleyJack72 it's really sad when you're so helpless you can't even make yourself a sandwich. How have you not starved to death by now? Or are you still in diapers so your mom has an easier time taking care of you?

[@BarleyJack72]

Night Lizard you’re not nearly as clever as you think you are. Keep trying, cupcake.

[@nightlizard8595]

BarleyJack72 I didn't realize you could read minds pumpkin. Anyway, trying to change the subject, that's clever right? I mean you're doing it, so it must be clever, right?
