Who can go on the hike?

Ages 10-80 will enjoy the hike. Children should be capable of handling a large animal as alpacas are 4-5 ft tall and weigh 150 lbs.

How long is the hike?

The hike is 3/4 mile in length with steep hills, raw ground and uneven terrain. With over 60 feet in elevation, it can be rigorous in places. We do take 1 or 2 breaks for photos along the way.

What if I need to cancel my ticket?

Please cancel your ticket through Eventbrite at least one day ahead of the scheduled time. This will make it available for others.

What do I need to bring or wear?

Bring a camera and dress appropriate for the weather conditions. We recommend closed toed shoes like tennis shoes or hiking boots. Bug spray and tick protection is recommended especially in the Spring and Summer.
