Rare Washington High Mountain Llama

Llama

On Saturday Laura and I hiked along a bit of the PCT toward Sourdough Gap, stopping by Sheep Lake to soak up the scenery.

As we approached, I said, “Look, there are a few elk on the far side of the….lake…” I trailed off…confused by the bizarrely malshapen “elk” tethered to the meadow.

Sadly, this llama isn’t a free-ranger, but a beast of burden. Apparently pack horses or mules are far too unoriginal for the Pacific Northwest, so long live the Washington high mountain llama?

    Great find Wish - you are like the Jacques Cousteau of the Pacific Northwest. I would like to attend your next expedition, when you will be searching for the ever-ellusive Rainier Ostrich. On second thought, I’d rather not go near one of those human-kidnapping monsters without an M-16 or something.
