Mule Train

Mule train heading up the South Kaibab trail. What do the mules carry? All the supplies for Phantom Ranch are carried by mules with the exception of the heaviest things that are helicoptered in. The US mail is also transported by mules... and it is one of the last places where mail is delivered via mule.

What a wonderful and marvelous piece of history this image carries. Makes me think of the young men that rode for the Pony Express.
