Reserve a Trip: All Swan Mountain Offerings

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.
