Lunch with Llamas
- Lunch with Llamas is a great, 3 generation adventure to be enjoyed by everyone. We walk the llamas through the forest while viewing beautiful wild flowers, wildlife and crystal clear brooks. The llamas are wonderful trail companions and carry all the essentials. We set up a buffet-style lunch in a meadow, including freshly made salads and all the "fixins" for great tasting sandwiches. The adventure is a leisurely 2.5 mile hike and takes about 4 hours. Advance reservations required.
