Amazing trip! Our family loved the 3-day/2-night trip. The hike was 6 miles each way, just right for our 8 year old and 5 year old, they never complained, hiked the entire way and found plenty to be excited about. It was particularly nice that we only carried a light day bag while the friendly llamas carried all the gear and food.
The food was spectacular and Louise accommodated my gluten-free dietary restriction and my daughter's peanut allergy. There was plenty of delicious food, served at the right time and at scenic locations.
Camp set-up was fast and easy. The llamas surrounded the camp for their grazing and the kids explored the meadow, river, forest, mountains while we enjoyed relaxing at the riverside camp. Dinner was gourmet and Raz served us margaritas made with glacial snow, nice touch Raz!
Camping was comfortable; the bugs were minimal and easily avoided with bug spray. The night sky brought the Milky Way!
We all accepted the optional day-hike on day 2, a short 3 mile hike to a glacial pond where several of us swam the 33F water, invigorating! There was plenty of time for the kids to play in the creek, pond, on the glacier and go romping through the forest. We always felt safe as the llamas are very aware of the surroundings and will communicate to Raz and Louise if there are any dangers (bears, etc.).
We found the trip to be very relaxing while enjoying a remote and beautiful area. I recommend Wallowa Llamas to families, couples, singles, everybody; if you love the outdoors, you'll love this trip. read more
