Quoted: I've done fairly well financially and I'm looking for a change of pace. Looking to go semi-retired until my various retirement vehicles start paying out. Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks: I imagine they have high seasonal employment to keep up with the tourists and maintenance? Anybody know anything about working/hiring at those parks? Thanks. I would imagine they are all posted on usajobs.gov |

Glacier Park is prettier.
 Use to be less known but is now getting overrun.

I was in Yellow Stone two summers ago. The lodges were like Cruise Ships, all the service people were from overseas. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What do you do/what is your skill set? Been in management/the Transportation industry the last 15 years, but not necessarily looking for a management or transportation job. I could hew wood and draw water for a while and the break would probably do me good. |

If you have any packing skills the USFS Rocky Mountain Ranger District is currently flying a horse/mule packer. This is a 13/13 permanent seasonal position. Spend all summer restocking fire lookouts, supporting remote fires all over the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area. It will be a dream job for the right person.

Never packed a mule team before but I might apply anyway. |

That would be a hard job to learn on the fly. Most of those packers have years of experience. |

Quoted: Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks: I imagine they have high seasonal employment to keep up with the tourists and maintenance? Anybody know anything about working/hiring at those parks? Thanks. Maybe back in the 80's & 90's but all that's changed with declining budgets in all US Land Management agencies, and increased contracting of Park Service concessionaire services. I'd suggest starting out with your local city/county parks dept to build up a resume in that area. And don't go near a pack string job since you don't have any experience. |
