A whole llama love 🦙💕
We have three more opportunities to hike with a llama during prime leaf-peeping season! Join us for a fun 3-mile guided hike through beautiful DuPont State Forest, with two waterfalls, fall color, and a llama (or two) along for the adventure.
These hikes are always a little more fun with a llama by your side. Space is limited, so grab your spot while you can.

While rivers around the Upper French Broad are cooling off, they are still low. Some unusual but beautiful sightings around the lower end of the North Fork. Looks like everyone is out trying to scout out where the water is or maybe they heard fall beers have landed at the @forksoftherivertaproom

Over the next few weeks, Southern Appalachian brook trout will begin their spawning season. A few have recently been spotted pairing up. Be mindful of active reds. Avoid wading through redds (beds) and disturbing these fish while they’re in their reproductive cycle. Look for clean, light-colored patches of gravel. Those are redds, so step around them and give these native fish a chance to make the next generation.
