There’s something magical about the backcountry—the history waiting to be discovered, the lessons nature teaches, and the moments that stay with you forever. Utah’s landscapes are spectacularly diverse, from red rock canyons to towering vistas, and we’ve been exploring them for decades. After years of collecting these secret spots, we’re excited to share them with our guests. These are the places we take our own families—the trails, vistas, and experiences we treasure most. Whether you join us for an hour, a full day, or extended days in the wilderness, the llama experience is incredibly fun. Our llamas make extended stays in the wilderness possible by doing the heavy lifting—they carry your gear, supplies, and equipment so you can travel comfortably and focus on the adventure. Life is short. Let’s explore the extraordinary together.
