Apache Stables (928/638-2891 or 928/ 638-3105, www.apachestables.com) offers the only horseback tours near the South Rim. One-hour ($46), two-hour ($86), and campfire ($56) rides are available. Guests can pack hot dogs and fixings to cook over the campfire. Mule rides and wagon rides ($25) are also available.

Rates are discounted for children, who must be accompanied by an adult. None of the tours go below the rim, but travel instead on National Forest lands that adjoin the park.

The stables are located between Tusayan and the park entrance on Moqui Drive (FR 328).
