The Padgett Mill Trail begins at the Smoky Mountain Llama Treks farm where you’ll meet all our friendly llamas. You’ll get to pet them while learning all about their amazing lives. From there, pair off with your new llama buddy and embark on a guided, hour-long (approx.) hike up a forested mountain trail into the foothills of the Smokies.

Our hikes are rated easy to moderate. We hike woodland trails, so there will be some moderate change in elevation as well as uneven, rooted terrain. One of our favorite customers is a person in his 80s!

We’re not afraid of a few sprinkles on our llama hikes. We run our hikes even in light rain showers. If there’s lightning, or the weather is otherwise dangerously inclement (tornado warnings, extended downpours, etc.), we’ll work to reschedule your hike. If it rains you can bring your ponchos, umbrellas or rain coats.

Our llamas are professionally trained and highly socialized. They are friendly and loveable hiking partners, and are entirely safe to be around so long as you follow your guide’s instructions.

Both kids and adults love the chance to spend real time connecting to our gentle, empathetic llamas. Adults especially find that our guides offer a fun and inspirational perspective during the hike. Even our most stubborn holdouts get into it and admit to having a great time on their llama trek!
