TIL of Supai, Arizona, the only place in the US where mail is still delivered by mules. The community has been referred to as "the most remote community" in the contiguous United States (en.wikipedia.org)

It is accessible only by helicopter, on foot or by mule. Supai is 8 miles (13 km) from the nearest road and has no automobiles in the community.
