Sierra Club Conducts 3-7 day outings in the Calif Sierra Mtns and other areas of the great outdoors using hired packers to carry gear. You don't need to own a mule, or even know which end of a mule is which, to go on a mule pack trip.
Trips are much like backpacks, except hired mule packers carry our gear to our campsite.
On most trips we hike the first day on foot to a scenic backcountry campsite, carrying just a daypack while hired packers take our gear separately to our campsite. For the next several days we individually choose to relax in camp, fish, enjoy scenery, or go on individual or group hikes. We usually have at least one potluck meal and happy hour. Where campfiles are allowed, we have a central campfire at night. At the end of the trip we hike out from campsite on foot while the hired packers separately take our gear to our cars.
