Meet the Llamas
Below, please meet our llama buddies who will be carrying our gear on a trek or day hike with YOU! Our llamas are our friends and companions and we have spent many wonderful adventures with them over the years. They work for the whole herd of 15 llamas, some of which stay at home because of age or health issues. Our llamas are gentle, charming, entertaining and hard-working hiking companions who will make your time with them an unforgettable experience! No time or desire for a hike or trek? Call us at 406-580-5954 for a Farm Visit.
