Treeline Pursuits offers pack llama and divide series tent rental services out of Missoula, Montana. This is exciting news for those Montana adventure seekers. Renting llamas gives you the opportunity to explore the backcountry like never before!
Llamas are incredibly smart and easy to handle. They are the perfect low-impact, pack animal. They have soft padded, two-toed feet and their natural agility makes them sure-footed and easy on the terrain. They have no more impact on the trail than a fully loaded backpacker. Llamas will eat a variety of vegetation enjoying a sampling of leaves, grasses, and plants. Their efficient digestive system yields droppings that look similar to elk scat.
Llamas are calm, gentle by nature and great with kids. They make great hiking companions as they walk at a comfortable pace. They are alert and very curious. They have a keen sense of smell, hearing, and sight and often alert us to the presence of other animals.
Our rental Llamas are quality-bred and trained Pack Llamas also known as Working Llamas. The Classic Llama or CCARA Llama are experts at carrying heavy payloads in rugged terrain. Our llamas are bred, trained, and conditioned to pack. Llamas are wonderful trail companions with lots of exposure to new people, elements, and scenarios. Now you can rent llamas for a fraction of the cost to buy llamas or rent horses. Perhaps the best news about Llamas is they are extremely low maintenance and easy to handle on the trail. On our family backcountry trips, our 5 and 8-year-old children lead and handle their own Llamas.
Llama Rentals Include: Saddle, blanket, panniers, scale, halter & lead rope, stake, stakeout lead, feed pellets, 4-gallon square buckets or coolers, and orange neck bands for llamas. We have a horse trailer available for rent if needed.

The rental trailer is 12′ long, weighs 3,500 pounds and has a tandem axle. The trailer has trailer brakes and is set up to take a 7 pin round connection. Please make sure your truck is set up with a break controller, no blown fuses, and fits a 7-pin round trailer plug, or bring your own adapter. We can provide a trailer hitch for you, as long as you have the 2′” square receiver hitch. The trailer takes a 2″ ball.
The Rental Process Is Simple!
Step 1 – Use the Online Form to request a reservation.
Step 2– Get any questions you might have regarding llama rentals answered.
Step 3- Receive an estimated quote, information packet, and trip waivers for all parties on the trip.
NOTE– A minimum of two people on the trip over 18 MUST take the mandatory online Llama Packing Course. The leader or person picking up the llamas will need to do additional hands-on training before they head out. This will take approx. 45 minutes, so plan accordingly.
IMPORTANT: The course is a one-time expense. You are only required to take and pass the course once. Returning customers or past rental customers of approved llama rental operations do not have to take the online course. All parties on the trip must take the course.

When Renting Llamas
We commit to renting the llamas for the dates that our clients commit to taking them. If a client returns the llamas early from a time slot due to weather, success while fishing or hunting, illness, insects, or other factors beyond our control there will be no refund and no credit for early returns. Rental reservations can ONLY be secured by a non-refundable 50% deposit. Final payment is due on or before the day you pick up the llamas.
If you follow the cardinal rules of packing with llamas that you learned at the llama course you will have a great renting experience. Llamas are animals, not machines, if you can take that into account and realize that each llama has their own quirks and personality your llama adventure will be a success. Have fun, relax, take as many breaths of fresh air as possible, and enjoy all that is around you.
