Information
has glosseng: A pack station is the base of operations for one who transports freight via pack animals (this person is called an outfitter). Outfitters are located in wilderness areas or at urban interfaces where there are no roads available for motor vehicles. The station facilitates the transition from mechanized transportation to pack animals, and necessarily includes a corral for the animals, a barn or other structure to house feed and tack, and a loading dock or shelter for the items to be transported. Typically there is also a business office on site. The term "pack station" is most often used in California. An outfitter's facility in other parts of the U.S. is commonly called an "end-of-the-road camp".
