Stock on Trail Stock has the right of way. Mules and horses are sometimes unpredictable and difficult to manage. Anything unexpected may spook one jittery animal which can set a whole string to bucking, or pull it off balance. When stock is coming, get off the trail to a spot where the animals can see you plainly, preferably on the uphill site. Stand and talk quietly until they have passed.
Trails Stay on the trail.
Cutting corners and cutting across switchbacks are the quickest way to break down trail edges and start erosion and gullying. Dislodged rocks may fall on others below you. Pack Stock Inquire about local regulation. Good grazing is limited, so take care to protect and conserve existing forage. Keep stock from concentrating on meadows.
