1/2 Day Llama Trek

Guests typically arrive at Swan Mountain Ranch at 9:30 am for their lunch date with a llama. We will pack the llamas with our lunch and chairs, tables, etc. and then head out into the forest after a briefing on llama facts and safety. We will take a moderately difficult hike along wooded trails with a total elevation gain of 800ft. By noon, everyone will have worked up an appetite so we’ll park our llamas and set up lunch near a beautiful waterfall. On a hot day you can dip your feet in or even jump in to the chilly snowmelt fed waterfall pool. After a relaxing lunch we will work our way back to the trailhead to say goodbye to our llama buddies. (hiking poles may be a good idea if you are concerned for the steep downhill). During peak season llamas may be shared between 2 hikers. In these cases each guest will be able to lead the llama for half of the trip. Please note that you will be required to drive your own vehicle out to the trailhead on a rough dirt road to start your trek.

Swan 5 hour: Lunchrock Trail Ride

This ride is NOT INSIDE Glacier National Park. Our Swan 5 hour trail rides launch out of our "base camp" at Lion Creek Road near Condon, MT. After an introduction to the horses and a safety briefing we will start our day. Enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding mountains, and wildlife along the way to a scenic lookout where you can hop off your horse and eat your picnic lunch, prepared by our camp cook. When lunch is finished we will head back down to camp. This ride will last about 5 hours, and is great for beginners and advanced riders alike.  
There is a 225lb weight limit for this ride. Riders must be at least 7 years old.
