Tired of the same old trails and tourist stops? Ready to swap traffic for towering peaks and hiking boots for hooves? Then welcome to a different kind of Colorado adventure—one where llamas carry your gear and mountain air fuels your spirit.

Imagine strolling across a mile-long walkway in the middle of the Colorado plains, the sun warming your shoulders, and a breeze carrying the deep-throated rumble of a lion’s roar. Below you? Massive, majestic animals—rescued from tiny cages and circus lives—lounging, playing, and prowling in wide-open habitats made just for them. Welcome to The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, a place where you don’t just visit animals—you experience their second chance at life.

Nestled just outside Buena Vista with jaw-dropping views of the Arkansas River, this high-altitude playground invites you to climb, swing, and soar your way through the trees like a mountain ninja.
