How long and how far is the hike?

• The hike is about 1.2 miles in distance and takes about 45-60 minutes depending on the amount of stops for rest and photo opportunities
• The paths are wide mowed trails through our seven tall grass prairies. There is a shallow creek crossing which involves walking on boards and up rocky steps with one uphill incline through tree tunnels and around a large cedar grove

Do llamas spit?

• A well trained llama will not spit on people, though it can happen it is an uncommon occurence
