The Wild West is a great place to have pack goats. I go into the redrock country all the time with mine and I love it. And, like here in Utah, AZ has pine forests up on the mountains, too. A bit of everything.
Now, on the subject of starting out in pack goats and hiking, your choice of equipment is important. For the goats, you can make your own or go with Butt-Head or NorthWest, but for your own equipment, you have a lot more choices. Now, I know you're thinking you wont need a backpack because the goats will carry your stuff. This is true, but until they're old enough you'll need to carry your own things. May I suggest the Flextrek 37,000,000,000,000 "Whipsnake" backpack? I am trying to get Flextrek to make pack goat equipment but so far they say they're going to start by making a goat-compatible French Wedge rather than packs.
