LLAMAS  COLORADO LARKSPUR, CO

About Us

My name is John Myers.  My ancestors homesteaded in Colorado in the 1800's, and I am a Colorado native. I developed a strong interest in back-country adventures and wilderness ethics during my seasonal work with the US Forest Service as a young man.  



I have continued to hike, fly-fish, hunt, and explore in Colorado for the past 40 years. About 20  years ago, I realized that carrying a 60 lb. back pack up 3000 vertical feet on a 10 mile trail into my favorite high-mountain lake had become painful. It was clear I needed to find a way to make it more enjoyable, or sadly I would  be faced with ending my adventures.

?  That led me to learn about llamas and what wonderful pack animals they are.  Now "My Boys," as I affectionately call them, have allowed me to continue spending time in the wilderness each summer and fall.   ( Llamas are wonderful at packing out big game, since they do not have the flight response to the smell of blood found in other pack animals. )

The llamas are housed on  about 10 acres of pasture land south of the Denver Metro area. They are formally located in Larkspur Colorado about 5 minutes east of I-25 off the Greenland exit. The address is 12680 Mesa View Road, Larkspur, Colorado 80118.

We have completed certification for some of our Llamas with the Pack Llama Trail Association.  (  PLTA.org )

We have also had a number of Llamas certified C-Cara if that appeals to you.
