Tuolumne Meadows Stable Rides

My family spent an amazing day on our mule ride along a river until we were able to see Mt Lyell. The staff at the stable were very friendly and helpful and assisted with packing/​unpacking our saddlebags and even offered additional jackets because it was a chilly morning. Our trail guide Sean was very knowledgeable and accommodating and did everything he could to ensure our trip was enjoyable, including taking family photographs when we stopped for lunch. The mules were friendly and well trained. We saw a variety of wildlife and the scenery was beautiful. Our trip was a long one and we spent about 8 hours in the saddle. I highly recommend the Tuolumne Stables, but would advise inexperienced riders to take a shorter trail ride since we were all extremely sore afterwards. When my 68 year old parents were unable to complete the entire trail ride, Sean lifted my them off their mules and assisted until they regained their balance. When we finished the trail ride he provided us with excellent instructions to their location so we could bring the car around to the trailhead closest to them to minimize the distance they would have to hike.

The number to call to book a ride is 209÷372−4386 as the stables are closed in the winter. The website should state as much but go figure!
