A premier provider of eco-conscious, backcountry llama-trekking tours
Southwest Wilderness Outfitters, LLC, is a premier provider of eco-conscious, back country
llama-trekking excursions into one of this country's most untouched mountainous regions, the South
San Juan Wilderness of southwestern Colorado.  Come and join us for a fully guided and catered hiking
tour into this spectacular area, which is characterized by rugged mountain vistas, clear running streams,
cascading waterfalls, high alpine lakes, lush green meadows carpeted with wildflowers, surreal forests
of pine, spruce, fir and quaking aspen, and an abundant array of fish and wildlife.  Best of all, you can
enjoy all of this beauty without the burden of a load, thanks to our wooly porters, the llamas.
The llama is a low-impact animal, gentle and accustomed to walking with a
loose lead
The llama is a sure-footed, low-impact animal that has been used to pack supplies throughout the
mountainous regions of this continent for thousands of years.  Gentle and accustomed to walking with
a loose lead, the llama can be led by adults and children alike.  At Southwest Wilderness Outfitters,
LLC, we observe the Leave No Trace principles for backcountry usage, and in doing so, have found that
the llama is the ideal pack animal to support these ethics, whether spending a day on the trail, or
several nights in the backcountry.
Single day or overnight trips are available
Single day or overnight trips are available, each of which can be fully tailored to meet your group's
specific needs and abilities.  Several different trips are available to accommodate a wide range of
physical abilities and interests (refer to the
Trips and Maps section).  In addition, meals and snacks of
natural and organic foods are included on all of our trips, and for our overnight guests, all of the basic
camping supplies are provided.
Your safety and well being is our priority
In addition to your culinary and camping needs, your safety and well being is our priority.  Each of our
trips is guided by personnel certified in CPR/Lifesaving and backcountry rescue techniques.  In addition,
to ensure a quality experience, we practice the Leave No Trace principles for backcountry usage and we
like to limit our trips to around 8 participants.
