GRAND CANYON- The Amazon company reported that they use mules to deliver packages in remote areas of the Grand Canyon.
Mules have long provided rides in and out of the Canyon, as well as supplies for those at Phantom Ranch. Since then, they have also become postmen and delivery partners.
Amazon specified in its blog that its deliveries are only available to Phantom Ranch employees who live and work there. Those employees also order supplies for guests and hikers.
Packages are delivered four days a week and the delivery process begins before dawn to avoid the heat. The mules descend miles down the canyon to the Phantom Ranch area, which is only accessible on foot or via the Colorado River.
The Grand Canyon is one of the “most unique” places Amazon delivers to, which also includes areas in the Himalayas by motorcycle, in North Carolina by helicopter, and in Michigan by horseback.
