Trail work is a big part of the activity in the North Cascades. So many avalanches came down this January that the Forest Service decided to bring in llama to carry in the needed equipment for the crews doing the work.
The pack owners have raised and trained these llamas to work hard and be gentle. While they are in the village they allow the children to lead them around. The kids thought this was wonderful.
Here I am with a very gentle and tired llama.
I caught these animals as they were coming out of the mountains and heading back home.
They are all done with their work and headed for the lake and the barge to take them home.

llamas.... how neat that is! They are common here in the Andes Mts. in Bolivia. I´ve not found them to be friendly though... glad they are on better behavior there.
