Description

Take a “Minute Out In It” at the historic blacksmith shop to see how a mule is prepared for its adventures on Grand Canyon trails--one hoof at a time. To shoe a mule is to trim its hoof, file it flat, and attach a horseshoe to it. It’s a pain-free process for the mule, much like trimming our fingernails. But as you can see, it's a painstaking process for the farrier, who works hard behind the scenes to make life-changing Grand Canyon mule trips a reality for hundreds of visitors a year.
