InquireFAQ
Children love our llamas! We will teach them how to interact with the llamas safely, and they can likely even lead a llama on the hike. There will be no llama riding, though.
As with any animal, even highly trained, sometimes behavior can become erratic or spooked. Following some simple safety precautions, though, will make for an enjoyable day with our ‘boys’.
Your gear list in your registration packet will indicate that each person will need to have a rain jacket available. Your guides will be watching the weather forecast carefully and make route decisions accordingly. Scattered afternoon thundershowers are the typical forecast. In the event of lightning, your guides will provide instruction on getting to shelter.
what participants are saying
We had the best guide for our hike with Paragon. A gentleman named Nate with tons of guiding experience took us on a beautiful driving tour followed by an amazing hike. He was very knowledgeable, flexible, and accommodating. We truly could not have asked for a better experience.
