Jodie Gullickson, Sole Managing Member/Owner, High Sierra Pack Goats
Reno, Nevada
Jodie Gullickson was born on vacation and never recovered from that experience. A hopeless adventurer, she believes in retiring early and often to follow her dreams. She rode her bicycle across the United States three times and traveled human-powered, via bicycle and hiking, from the U.S./Mexico border to the Oregon/Washington State Border. Then she discovered the love of goatpacking and never looked back. She has six pack goats and two juveniles in training who all venture into the mountains with her, carrying her supplies for weeks on end. She hiked the 172-mile Tahoe Rim Trail with a friend and four goats in the summer of 2021. She now owns High Sierra Pack Goats and takes customers on day walks as well as up to six-day tours in the wilderness.
