 Eastern High Sierra Pack Stations |
See USE NOTICE on Home Page. |
 I have gotten so many requests from people who are looking to be packed back into the Sierra that I thought it best just to list some of the available pack stations on the Eastern and Western slopes of the Sierra Nevada. Keep in mind that this is nowhere a complete list of pack outfits available which are operating in the High Sierra. Unfortunately there are a lot of outfits which do not have websites. I have found that packers are more concerned about their guests, their stock, and the reputation of their outfits then in learning how to operate a computer or construct a website; but they're coming along. As I learn of new sites I will do my best to update this page. |
