Grand Canyon Worker Keeps Mule Train Operations Running Smoothly

About the only thing that Anderson Mann does not do well is relax, or so says his wife, Jackie. Serving in building maintenance at the mule barn for Xanterra’s South Rim Mule Operation, Mann says his duties include just about anything and everything he needs to do to keep the world-famous mule livery functioning.  From cleaning the barn, packing supplies in and out of Phantom Ranch, trail maintenance, general repairs, cleaning, saddling up guests from around the globe and assisting with duffels for Colorado river runners, Mann loves it all. “I came to the Grand Canyon 29 years ago and started work here as a cook at Xanterra’s (then Fred Harvey) employee cafeteria. One day, a friend came in and asked me to come work at the mule barn, so I did.” In the six years since, Mann has never regretted that decision.  He met his wife, Jackie, a few years after moving to the Grand Canyon Village and has a son, Andrew, and daughter, Fancelia Rose, who were born and raised at the Grand Canyon Village.  “He is one of the most hard-working and well-rounded individuals we have,” said Xanterra South Rim Director of Transportation Nora Berry. “I wish we had more like him.”  Mann has won two employee achievement awards in the last year.
