Alpacas were originally bred high in the Andes Mountains of Peru, Chile, Bolivia and Ecuador. They’re known for their superior fleece that’s similar to wool, and these fluffy, gentle, intelligent animals are now raised in the United States. Utah has a few alpaca farms; here’s one where you can get to know alpacas up close and personal.
Blue Moon Ranch is located in Woodland, surrounded by some of Utah’s most beautiful rural scenery.
