Everything I have read on burros is that they are for equipment and not people. You should expect that very few are saddle trained if you find any at all on that route. Good luck!

These horse people might help your find a burro:

Unfortunately, this burro in the square won't help you:

You will need two people per donkey ---one to push and one to pull. I have been reading about donkey trips on the Stevenson trail, and that is the advice of one veteran. The logistics of renting donkeys to hikers are considerable, and I think the Stevenson trail is the only one where it is common.
