2-Hour Llama Trek:
Guests will arrive at Swan Mountain Ranch at a mutually agreed upon time based on the reservation made. Once we go through an orientation on llamas and trail safety, we are off on our llama trek. We will leave Swan Mountain Ranch heading out on one of our many Swan River Forest trails (use of our trails is goverened by permit with the state of Montana). Guests have the choice of leading their own llama(s), or allowing their guide to lead the llama(s) for them. We will hike to various areas seeing the beauty and experiencing the serenity of the Swan Valley of Montana.
1/2 –Day Llama Trek Plus Lunch:
Guests typically arrive at Swan Mountain Ranch at 10:30 am for their lunch date with a llama. We will pack the llamas with our lunch and chairs, tables, etc. and then head out into the Swan River State Forest after a briefing on llama facts and safety. We will leisurely hike along trails seeing the Swan and Mission Mountain ranges that border the Swan Valley to the east and west respectively. By noon, everyone will have worked up an appetite so we’ll park our llamas and set up lunch by a creekside or on a ridge with vista views of the Swan Valley. After a relaxing lunch we will work our way back to Swan Mountain Ranch
All-Day Llama Trek Plus Lunch
Guests need to arrive at Swan Mountain Ranch at 8:30 am for their all day guided llama trekking adventure. Once everyone has arrived, we will give a llama orientation and trail safety speech. Then everyone will be piled into our llama trekkers van, and we will drive with trailered llamas in tow to Napa Point atop of the Swan Mountain Range in the Swan River State Forest bordering the Flathead National Forest. Upon arrival, we will unload guests and llamas alike, pack up our lunch provisions and chairs, and head out onto the trail. Guests will be treated with killer views of the Swan Valley and the expanse of the Swan and Mission ranges. We also have the option to go hiking on two popular nature trails in the Swan Valley that are chalk-full of wildlife and informative signs labeling the trees and fauna installed by the state and volunteer groups that maintain the trails. Once done with our hike, we’ll head back to Swan Mountain Ranch, and have you on your way by 4:00pm. Don’t forget to stop in and say hi to Joe & Jocelyn at the Swan Trading Post. They serve the famed Huckleberry Ice Cream – a Montana must!
Evening 3-hour Wine & Cheese Llama Trek

Guests have their choice in the summer months of a pre or post dinner wine and cheese llama trek. Those that select the pre-dinner trek, typically arrive at Swan Mountain Ranch at 4:30 pm for their wine and cheese affair with a llama. Post-dinner treks begin at 7:00 pm. We will pack the llamas with our goodies, chairs, tables, etc. and then head out into the Swan River State Forest after a briefing on llama facts and safety. We typically head to a ridgetop in the Swan River State Forest where we can drink up the beauty of the Swan Valley as the llamas watch us partake in the spoils they were kind enough to pack in for us. Don’t be shocked if we slip in a little chocolate in our basket to “cleanse” the taste buds before we lead our llamas back to the ranch.
