Our aim is to provide each of our guests with a high-quality outdoor experience. We welcome hikers of all ages, abilities and experience levels, families and organized groups. We will also do our best to accommodate those with special needs.

We offer a variety of other llama trekking adventures, and are always happy to customize a trek to meet your needs. We also schedule special interest treks (birding, for example) from time to time.

Our basic guided trek is 3 days/2 nights. Those with more time may wish to consider a longer trek in order to more fully experience this rugged, beautiful area!

We provide all camping gear on our multiday treks... and the llamas, of course!. We also offer a multi-day Cranberry area adventure where you spend each night in your own private lodge.

Backcountry Llama Trek:

Here's your chance to really get away from it all! Relax and enjoy a guided, catered backcountry trek for three days in West Virginia's magnificent Monongahela National Forest. We are currently trekking the Cranberry Wilderness and Cranberry Back Country areas. In addition to the spectacular hiking, the Cranberry area offers some of the finest trout fishing in the state.

The Cranberry area offers a great llama trek for hikers of all abilities. With many routes to choose from, we can design an itinerary to accommodate both avid hikers and more casual explorers, even within the same group.  For those looking for an easy excursion, possibly including a little fishing, we'll hike along the beautiful Cranberry River. For those looking for more of a workout, we can also hike trails ascending far above the river valleys. Having two guides allows the group to split up on day 2, accommodating both avid hikers and more casual explorers. Recommended for ages 6 and up. 4 to 8 guests. Don't have a four-person group?  No problem -- others are also looking to put together trekking groups, so contact us if you'd like us to put together a group including you.

Our basic guided trek is 3 days/2 nights. Those with more time may wish to consider a longer trek in order to more fully experience this rugged, beautiful area!

FISHING THE CRANBERRY

Unlike out west where there is an early season before the thaw and the real fishing doesn't start until after the snows melt (Mid-July), our fishing in West Virginia is usually at its peak from the 15th of May through the month of June . Conditions usually remain good through July and into early August, rainfall permitting.

This year conditions were good until the middle of August. Our late summer/early fall fishing is dependent on the weather in the tropics. Typically speaking, September is our driest month and not the month to be fishing in West Virginia. Conditions generally are very good again for most of the months of October and November. Flyfishing the Cranberry River a few days before the leaves really begin to fall is a favorite annual event.

3-days/2-nights. We observe a two-guest minimum, six-guest maximum per trip. One fishing guide per 2-3 guests. We include:

•Delicious meals •Tents •Transportation •Use of flies, leader, tippet •Personal instruction in the art of fly casting for the beginner or tips for the more advanced fly fisher •Instruction in short line and indicator nymph casting •Techniques on dry fly presentation, wading, stalking •A photo record of the trip
