Burro Alley

No real burros, but there's a life-size one of bronze, sculpted in 1988 by Charles Southard, that's a popular photo-op spot. Wood was once hauled into the city by burros, who were parked in Burro Alley.

The Burro.

Burro Alley

The burro is at the beginning of Burro Alley. Walk a ways down the alley to view the mural of Burro Alley. If you venture inside The Burger Stand for a delicious burger you can view historical photos of Burro Alley.
