Mule Accident on Bright Angel Trail Injures One
A 66 year old woman from California on a scheduled over night mule trip to Phantom Ranch was injured on Bright Angel Trail at about 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 5th. A mule wrangler with Xanterra (the authorized mule concessioner), reported that the mule had lost its footing and had fallen, rolling over the female rider in the process. The accident happened about a half mile up the trail from the Three Mile Resthouse. The patient was airlifted via a short haul from the Canyon and flown to Flagstaff Medical Center for treatment of her injuries. Bright Angel Trail was closed for about one hour during the rescue operation. The extent of the victim's injuries are unknown.
