There’s nothing like a walk in the great outdoors to clear the mind and refresh the spirit. Washington state is full of family-friendly trails and scenic paths for you to explore and admire the natural beauty of the Evergreen State. But what if we told you there is a place where you can enjoy both the beauty of nature and interact with a herd of gentle llamas and sweet alpacas? Topstall Farm in the small town of Roy offers a unique immersive farm experience and llama trail walk you won’t soon forget.
Topstall Farm got its start as a dairy farm in the 1940s.
The roof has been replaced with a gleaming red metal roof, but it was important to the owners of Topstall to keep the original integrity of this historic building which is home to barn owls, chickens, and ducks. The building serves as a beautiful backdrop for photos during your llama trail walk.

If you've never seen a llama in person, you're in for a real treat.
Book a Llama Experience at Topstall Farm and take a llama for a walk through the woods. Get to know the members of the herd and learn about the unique characteristics of these social mammals and members of the camel family. Then take the lead on one of the gregarious llamas and wander the one-mile trail through wooded paths and grassy fields.
Strong and dependable, the Topstall llamas serve as gentle leaders through the beautiful landscape of the farm.
The nature walk and farm tour is a 1 1/2-hour immersive experience where you'll learn all about llamas and alpacas, and have the opportunity to hand-feed members of the herd. Due to the nature of this farm experience, the llama trail walk and farm tour are not appropriate for little ones and are open to children over the age of five.
Don't forget to say hello to the resident Goldies.
In addition to the magnificent herd of pack animals, Topstall Farm is home to a family of adorable and friendly Golden Retrievers with wagging tails and boundless energy.
Engaging and educational, the Topstall Farm Tour will enchant the whole family.
Farm tours run throughout the year and conditions can be muddy during the rainy season. Be sure to come prepared for wet weather with raincoats and boots.
We can’t imagine a more magical way to spend the day than hitching up a llama and going for a peaceful walk in the woods and Topstall Farm is the place to do just that.
