Hiking through the beautiful Wallowa Mountains is always a great way to spend a day, but if you really want to explore this area, a backpacking trip of at least a weekend is in order. The only problem with backpacking? You have to carry everything you need, and that makes your hike a lot harder.

Instead of carrying all your gear, take a hike with Wallowa Llamas this year! The llamas will do all the heavy lifting, allowing you to enjoy the scenery.

The Wallowa Mountains is known as the "Alps of Oregon," and the 40-mile-long range is just absolutely stunning. You'll find plenty of day hiking in these mountains, but for a truly incredible experience, take a backpacking trip.
