Llama Trekking: Fall in Llama Love
by Ann N. Yungmeyer
Ever been curious about llama trekking? The “sport” has become increasingly popular in mountainous terrain, and one such place to try it is the Great Smoky Mountains. First, to clarify, you don’t ride a llama, you lead it along, and it can carry your pack, lunch, or camping gear. So, what’s the point? How exciting is that? Well, it’s all just for fun and it’s certainly a novel experience.
Llamas add a new dimension to hiking, especially if there are people in your party who are not keen on hiking just for the sake of getting out to enjoy the wilderness. Curious-looking creatures that they are (with features that resemble a giraffe, camel, ostrich and rabbit), llamas provide great entertainment along the trail. They are docile animals, and they are generally easier to lead than even a well-trained dog. Being of the animal species, llamas have distinct personalities so there’s always the chance for adventure or a few good laughs. (Beware of fallen trees in the trail, you may have to sweet talk your llama into jumping over it!)
