A few considerations: - Families as well as dogs on leashes are welcome, but please note that Peanut and Rosa are larger goats and headbutt play behaviour may intimidate children and dogs. - You are welcome to request dates, but these will be considered "private hikes". - This adventure is "rain or shine"!
