The Grand Canyon

Most people who decide to take the mule ride through the Grand Canyon focus on the spectacular beauty around them. Donald Davis, however, found his focus trained sharply on the 48-inch-wide trail whose ledge drops 700 feet to the Colorado River. Interweaving his trademark humor with vivid detail of perhaps the most remarkable experience offered by the National Park Service, Davis paints for us the stages of this adventure: the gleeful anticipation, the encounter with his "own personal mule," the initial terror, and finally, the awe inspired by the panorama around him. Also includes "Getting Scared at Grandma's," in which our young hero comes to a belated appreciation for his younger brother.

  • "Many people can visualize the Grand Canyon mule ride, but few can relate such an experience with more humor and detail than master storyteller Donald Davis. Now anyone and everyone can know what it's like to descend into the canyon on the back of a mule₇ but without the smell or saddle sores!"@en
