ELIGIBILITY - Participants should be in sound health both physically and mentally. Ordinarily, we cover 2 - 6 miles at a moderate to leisurely pace per day.

CHILDREN - Children age 6 and older are welcome on our treks in the company of a parent who assumes complete responsibility for the child's whereabouts and safe conduct at all times. Children must be able to walk the distance of the day's hike since the llamas cannot be ridden.

TREK PLANNING AND GUIDE SERVICE - Our 1, 2 & 3 day wilderness treks with guides, llamas and equipment will take place in the beautiful Pisgah National Forest or Nantahala National Forest. We will be happy to design special treks for groups of up to 8 people for an overnight hike upon request. We can customize a very special trip to suit your needs.

RESERVATIONS AND PAYMENTS - Reservations should be made as early as possible. For a 2 or 3 day trek, a $100 deposit per person is required to confirm the reservation. The balance is due no later than 14 days prior to departure. For a day trek, a $65.00 per person deposit is required and the balance is due no later than 7 days prior to the trip. You may pay by check only.

CANCELLATIONS - If you must cancel your reservation, please notify us as soon as possible. If cancellation notice is received 10 days prior to departure, your deposit, minus a $25.00 handling fee will be promptly refunded. Your deposit will be forfeited if cancellation notice is received less than 10 days prior to departure. You will be given the opportunity to reschedule your trip at a later date and use the deposit less a $25.00 handling fee toward the rescheduled trip.

CONTACT PERSON - One member of each group should be in charge of handling all arrangements. (applies to group reservations only).

TRANSPORTATION - We will meet at the trailhead or a specified meeting place. We will notify you of the exact location to meet. Your automobile may be left at either point, but in any case, English Mountain Llama Treks assumes no responsibility for automobiles left unattended.

SAFETY - English Mountain Llama Treks values the safety of guest above all else. We have chosen our trails and equipment carefully. Our guides are veteran hikers trained in advanced first aid and CPR. In case of accident or illness, they will aid the ill or injured person until medical help arrives or evacuation is executed. Any cost of evacuation (helicopter, etc.) and of the medical care beyond first aid are the financial responsibility of the ill and/or injured person. We advise each hiker to review their medical insurance coverage before taking part in a trek. Remember Safety is top priority!

INSURANCE - English Mountain Llama Treks' liability coverage requires all participants in a trek to sign a release form pertaining to the assumption of risk. Each prospective hiker must read and sign the statement assuming such risks. Parents will be required to sign along with children under the age of eighteen.

CANCELLATION BY ENGLISH MOUNTAIN LLAMA TREKS - For the welfare and safety of all of our trekkers, we reserve the right to cancel or change a trip at anytime as trail and/or weather conditions dictate, or due to lack of participants. If we are forced to cancel or are unable to reschedule, your money will be fully refunded.

"We look forward
to a safe, authentic,
and rewarding wilderness experience with you."
