Hikes are typically on rain or shine

We anticipate cancellations in the warm summer months as llamas can fall to heat stress easily
We will give you as much notice as possible if we are looking to cancel or adjust the hike start time
If we cancel because of weather you will be refunded the hike amount (booking fees are non-refundable)
The hike is about 1.4 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 around a large cedar grove and through woodlands.

We require that all participants wearclosed toed shoes
We recommend brining water
We do not allow umbrellas, and suggest a rain poncho instead
Each participant is required to read and sign our liability waiver, you can email ahead of time or print and bring the day of your experience
Do you allow dogs or other pets?
For the well-being and safety of your dog and the llamas we do not allow dogs or other pets on the farm
Llamas can view dogs they are unfamiliar with as a predators. This can alter the llamas behavior to be on guard and defensive.
Is your barn climate controlled?
We do not have heat or air conditioning inside of our barn. We do have fans going in the warmer months
Do llamas spit?
Trained llamas will not spit on people, though it can happen it is an uncommon ocurence
It is common for llamas to spit at one another when mad or irritated usually over dominance disputes, food, and personal space
