About

Your memories aren't complete until you’ve experienced the unique hiking adventure that is Smoky Mountain Llama Treks. We have two tours to choose from. One is a farm visit which is a fancy way of saying a petting zoo and the other is to take a nice one hour long hike with a llama on the Padgett Mill Trail where you will see a spectacular view of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

We offer people a very unique experience to see nature away from the commercialized Smoky Mountain area. You may even be surprised by the stories your guide has to tell if you ask him, How he ended up with llamas", as you hike in the mountains with your cute llama. Come on out and see what everyone is raving about.

This was such an Amazing experience! My husband LOVES llamas and I've been wanting to take him here for a while. All the llamas and alpacas were So sweet and very well behaved. They were Very well taken care of. The hike itself was beautiful. We loved hearing all the stories! I myself haven't hike in a while and the first half was alot of incline areas, so it was alittle harder for me. I greatly appreciate our guides patience for stopping when I needed to take breaks and I was able to hike the whole trail! This is definitely a one of a kind experience and recommend it to anyone!

Steve and his llamas are amazing! I love llamas (yes a grown man) and this was a little dream come true. I didn’t even know this was a thing until my (amazing!!) wife surprised me with this wonderful experience. I got to hang out with Ghost Rider and all throughout the hike he would find acorns he wanted to eat.

Steve has tons of amazing stories and is truly an inspiration. Thank you to my wonderful wife for planning this trip, Steve for his patience and kindness and Ghost Rider and Sasquatch (my wife’s llama) for a truly unforgettable experience!

P.S. I almost forgot about Aurora, Steve’s beautiful German Shepherd. Sweet pup and love to go hiking too!

My daughter and I wanted to walk a llama, doesn't everyone? Go do it, they are so sweet. Steve was the owner and our guide. He told us a story about each llama or alpaca to help us pick which one we wanted to walk. I picked they softest and furriest! We walked up a hill and around Steve' property which turns out to be pretty large. Along the trail, an inspirational story in the form of signs is being told. After a little inquiry, Steve opened up with a God purposed and powerfully interwoven story with a Christlike message. It was more than a llama walk, it was a purpose and a passion for seeing God in the beauty of His creation. What a great experience that my daughter and I will always remember.
