We have traveled to the Sanctuary little before New Year's and you should definitely use an AWD vehicle during winter time because you may have a little trouble coming all the way up. The best time to book your visit is around 1 pm because that's when the Llamas are the most active but be aware if you're planning your visit during winter time if the temperature is below 15 degrees the Llamas will put themselves into a "survival" mode and they won't be walking around and will be mostly laying in their stables. This place is being taken care of by two amazing people - Lynne and David and they definitely put a lot of dedication and hard work to make the Sanctuary the best place for all the llamas and alpacas they needs to be taken care of. Right now 44 llamas and alpacas live there and you will see for yourself that those animals can have unique personalities. We definitely fell in love with a white llama named Paul. He loves to smell your breath and sniff very close to your face but don't be scared he won't spit at you! Paul also loves showing you around the Sanctuary and if you have a beard he will loves sniffing you even more! You have to book your visit ahead of time because Lynne and David are very busy maintaining the whole Sanctuary on their own. There are no official tickets but visitors are expected to donate at least $15 per person. There is also a little cute llama shop where you can buy a lot of little llama themed nicknacks. We definitely recommend the visit for everyone! P.S. They are always looking for volunteers to help out around the Llama Sanctuary. read more
