I was in Pakistan for about a month this past summer. I flew into Islamabad with several other americans and we drove the Karakoram Highway to Gilgit and then hiked/climbed. We had no issues although I might suggest you avoid things like Kentucky Fried Chicken or other western establishments in Islamabad and just be heads up in general. Pakistan continues to get a lot of trekking action from western Europe. I didn't get the impression that too many people knew we were from the US. I would but just be heads up.
