This article may have been previously nominated for deletion: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Llama hiking exists.
It is proposed that this article be deleted because of the following concern:

Unnecessary article duplicating paragraph about llamas being animals of burden in here. Formerly blatant advertisement of an entertainment company in Smoky Mountains, sadly was turned into this, instead of being completely removed. Other pleasure rides using animals are either deeply embedded in the history (horse riding, Sled dog), culture (donkey rides) or sport (Camel racing) - on the other hand there is no article on camel rides offered to tourists in Egypt or other Arabic countries.

If you can address this concern by improving, copyediting, sourcing, renaming, or merging the page, please edit this page and do so. You may remove this message if you improve the article or otherwise object to deletion for any reason. Although not required, you are encouraged to explain why you object to the deletion, either in your edit summary or on the talk page. If this template is removed, do not replace it.

This message has remained in place for seven days, so the article may be deleted without further notice.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article so that it is acceptable according to the deletion policy.

Llamas have been used by people of the Andes mountains as pack animals for hundreds of years. Recently, it has become popular to use llamas as pack animals while hiking. Llamas with their padded feet (like dogs') easily handle steep and rocky paths and are much more environmentally friendly to the ground than horses' hooves. A llama can carry about 25% of its body weight with no problem. This means an average animal of 300 pounds can carry around 75 pounds of equipment in its packs. In southern California a few avocado farmers have used llamas to carry large loads of the fruit down steeper hills.
