Go Hiking With Goats In Missouri For An Adventure Unlike Any Other
Hiking always promises adventure. If we take our beloved pup along, we can probably expect even more fun and excitement. After all, animals just make any activity extra special. That’s why, if you love animals and hiking, you’ll probably want to go hiking with goats.
Lace up your hiking boots for a one-of-a-kind adventure with 37 North Expeditions’ Goat Hike & Winery tour. The daylong adventure runs from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Hikes are usually held several times a month, so you should have plenty of time to find a date that fits your schedule. Keep an eye on the 37 North Expeditions’ Events page on Facebook for current and future dates.
Join the goats as they guide you on a 3.5-mile hike through Devil’s Den State Park in nearby Arkansas. However, you will hitch a ride to the state park from Farmers Park in Springfield.
An additional pickup site is available at The HUB Bike Lounge in Bentonville, Arkansas. Round-trip transportation and a seasoned guide are included in the price of the trip.
You’ll meet your furry new friends at Devil’s Den State Park. The goats are part of Snake Mountain Pack Goats, an organization that works with veterans, specifically those with PTSD or disabilities, and helps them to get outdoors.
Consider bringing your camera. After all, can you think of anything better than posing for selfies with the goats and snapping shots of the scenes – waterfalls and caves, for example – along the trail?
Following your hike, you’ll bid a fond farewell to the goats and head to nearby Sassafras Winery for a bite to eat and wine tasting if you’re 21 or older. Both the trip and the winery are family-friendly, although guests must be at least 12 years old.
