Use of private livestock in the backcountry is limited to horses and mules only. Livestock use is limited to the Corridor Trails in the inner canyon and selected trails on the rim.

Only Bright Angel and Cottonwood campgrounds accommodate private livestock. Hitch rails are provided. Grazing is not permitted; stock handlers must bring enough feed for the duration of the trip.

A Backcountry Permit is required for overnight private livestock trips. Application procedures are the same as for backpackers. Trip leaders will be charged $ 5.00 per stock animal per night.

Other requirements are in the Stock Use Handout available from the Backcountry Information Center.

NOTE: When entering the park, each rider accepts responsibility for their personal safety and for the removal of injured or dead livestock from the park.
