Llama Day Hikes

Day hikes in the Capitol Reef area offers many hiking options for families, serious backpackers, hikers, and those who enjoy exploring and relaxing in remote areas. Your llama companions carry the gear and food as you hike carrying only a light day pack. Our guests gain private access to the western escarpment of the Water Pocket Fold of Capitol Reef National Park. This exclusive access means you’ll have the entire place to yourself. Very few people get the opportunity to explore the headwaters of Sulphur Creek, Red Bluff Canyon, or the Amphitheater below Cooks Mesa, Twin Lakes or the Boulder Rim. Come join us for a hiking experience unlike any other in North America! Let our guides and llamas help you make a memory you will never forget.

Guides can also tell you all about the unique geology and archeology of the area along with any questions about your llama companion: Click Here to see our guides in action!

Custom Treks

The backcountry is a place of wonder and majesty. There is always more history to explore, new things to learn and experiences to share. Utah has some of the most diverse and contrasting landscapes in the world. We are luckily enough to offer some of our favorite personal trips to you. When we visit new places we always ask the locals “what is the coolest thing to see that no one else knows about”. Often, we find those hidden gems that few folks know about or get to see. We are now offering up those hidden gems to our guest that we have discovered over the years. You only live life once and we want to share these wild places and adventures with you.

From our fishing expeditions, to our Star Gazer trip, ADVENTURE WAITS. If you would like to book a custom trip please give us a call, we have a few other select trip offerings and can mix and match any of the trips you see and even some that you don’t see. Your vacation is special to you, so we will make it special to us and make every effort to help you get what you are looking for. We look forward to our adventure together.
