Opportunity Description: 

Wilderness Ranger: Four positions are available. Duties would include visitor information and education, trash collection, natural resource restoration and monitoring, and light trail maintenance in a popular wilderness area. This is a fun job working outdoors in the High Uintas Wilderness, but it is physically strenuous and requires hiking several miles each day with 60 -70 lb pack and work in high altitudes, mountain weather, and rugged terrain.

Must also have good communication and interpersonal skills, be very independent, and be able to work in the wilderness alone for extended periods. Experience with pack stock is a plus. Horseback positions may also be available to qualified applicants with stock. Forest Service will provide equipment and training. Reimbursement for subsistence is provided. Dates are negotiable but generally run June to September.
