While the opportunities to enjoy horseback riding are numerous, llama trekking is relatively new to the Mountain State. New River Llama Trekking teams up with Rivers Whitewater Rafting Resort this season to offer combination packages from April through mid-October in the New River area that includes a day of rafting and another day of llama trekking.
Llamas provide an easy way to enjoy the outdoors, especially for people with physical limitations.
They're very patient and like to be with humans. They're content while you stop, are even tempered and enjoy walking. Llamas are sure footed and can hike 10 to 12 miles a day. They have a low impact on the environment because of their padded feet. When they walk, you can barely tell where they have been.
