I was asked while on a trek today with some clients, "What was your favorite trek?" This was a good question that got me thinking what is it that I love about trekking with llamas? I did not come back with a location, or who was my favorite llama or even about the time I saw wildlife in Yellowstone on a llama trek. What I realized is that it always has to do with the company that I have along with me. When I get the family that really has a good time and appreciates what the llamas do for them, that is my favorite trek. And luckily, that happens a lot. it is rare to have a llama adventure that does not include people who are thrilled about the llamas. That is why I don't advertise very much. I am not interested in taking folks on a trek who are just wanting something to do - they have to be intentional about wanting to see llamas. Then everyone has a great time.
