A few things to know before the tour:
1) We are a working ranch, so there is not much pavement and there’s plenty of dirt. The terrain is fairly flat (not much hills), but can have uneven spots.
2) We recommend not wearing open toed shoes. There is not much walking, but do reference point #1. We also encourage dressing for the weather. It can often be very warm with little shade, so hats and water are good to bring.
3) Please do not bring any animals with you. We have our own pets and do not want to risk injury to them or the alpacas.
4) From Craig it's approximately a 20 minute drive, and about 1 hour from Steamboat. Please plan accordingly so you can arrive on time for your scheduled tour.
5) Plan on staying anywhere from 30 minutes to 1+ hour. We do not have restrooms available, so please plan accordingly.
6) Photography of the animals is highly encouraged, but please use the photos for personal use only (i.e you may not use photos taken on the property to sell for any type of profit).
7) Please understand and respect that we are not a business in educating others in raising or owning alpacas or llamas, nor are we in the business of selling our alpacas. Our tours and business is dedicated to the furtherance of the alpaca industry through education of the sustainable products they provide. If you are interested in owning alpacas please contact The Alpacas Owners Association for assistance. www.alpacainfo.com or Phone: (402) 437-8484
