Mule Bridge Across the Colorado
this is the bridge Hikers & Mules cross the Colorado on going down the South Kaibab Trail to Phantom Ranch. The Pack Mule Teams that deliver supplies to and takes "stuff" from Phantom Ranch uses this bridge both directions....this is the only place now mail is delivered by mule in the US.

  Thanks Michelle....I've crossed this bridge five times now....once on a mule....it is a thrill everytime. I'd like to make at least one more journey down to the bottom of the Canyon....on my 65th I want to go from the North Rim to the South....not all in one day.....but do it anyway with a layover at Phantom....it is heaven down there....the stars....oh the stars....I've never seen so many.....Cheers and have a wonderful evening.....=^..^=

  Thanks Neal & Tammy for the comments....Tammy it really isn't very scarey when you see the bridge....it's quite well supported and doesn't bounce like a suspension bridge....it is a beautiful experience to do this....I have to get into better shape and hike more....who knows....maybe we'll see you there one day! Have a wonderful day!

  Great capture of a special place. Several years back, I started at Navajo Bridge and over about seven days, paddled down and pulled out at South Kaibab Trail and then hiked out. The party I was with continued on for another 100 miles. I have often wanted to finish my trip.
