Here is info you can see which one fits what you would like to do! Enjoy.
Mule trails and donkey rides in the Grand Canyon fall into three categories:
One day trips follow the Bright Angel Trail halfway down the canyon and back. Tours stop at Plateau Point which juts out 1,300 feet above the Colorado River. The trip takes seven hours. Tickets cost over $100.00 per rider including all taxes and a boxed lunch.
Two day trails travel 10.5 miles down to the Colorado River and then 7.3 miles back up to the South Rim. Riders spend the night next to the river at Phantom Ranch, the only lodging that exists on the canyon bottom. After a boxed lunch on the trail there is a hearty steak dinner and breakfast is served the next morning. Tickets cost over $350.00 for one rider; two riders cost over $600.00 including all taxes and meals.
Three day trails spend two nights at Phantom Ranch, allowing visitors more time to explore the river and canyon bottom. Tickets cost over $500.00 for one rider and over $850.00 for two including all taxes and breakfast, lunch and dinner on the first night and a stew dinner on the second night. Riders must purchase their second day breakfast and lunch separately.

This crotchety Sherpa could be your co-host for the week. Filming an episode of Mahalo Daily from a remote location like this would inspire a whole new level of the show and if nothing else, some funny comments on YouTube.
From the official Grand Canyon National Park website:
http://www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/mule_trips.htm
South rim mule trips: $153.95 for the day and includes lunch.
North rim mule trips: Starting at $30 for a 1 hour trip. Longer trips are available.
I'd likely do the South Rim and forgo all the other touristy Grand Canyon stuff. If it's for the show, let me know and I'll fly down with a makeup artist who will transform me into a crotchety old Sherpa :)

Lon, I think that you should find the smallest possible donkey and hire a crotchety, mean, old Sherpa to guide you through the Grand Canyon. This crotchety Sherpa could be your co-host for the week. Filming an episode of Mahalo Daily from a remote location like this would inspire a whole new level of the show and if nothing else, some funny comments on YouTube.
