Everyone knows you can ride a mule into the Grand Canyon, but few people are aware of another, slightly more adorable animal adventure in Arizona: hiking with llamas. Choose between a two-hour, half-day, or full-day excursion filled with beautiful scenery and some of the goofiest creatures in existence.
