Just wondering if anyone has done the 3 hour mule ride down the
Grand Canyon. Wondering if it is worth the money. Would love to do the overnight trip just can't afford it..
Are you visiting the South Rim or North Rim?
The South Rim only offers a 3-hr. trip along the top Rim.

The North Rim offers (2) 3-hr trips; one is along the top Rim and the other goes down into the canyon to Supai Tunnel.

We haven't done any of them but friends have down to the bottom and they said it was very difficult because you're at an angle and also the mules walk along the edge of the trail and you're not allowed to try to move them over. We've hiked down the Bright Angel Trail which was also very difficult.
I'd highly recommend that you definitely walk down at least 1/4 to 1/2 mile or so. You get an altogether different perspective from below the Rim.
