*** This Job is now Filled ***

It does look like we'll have Gardiner Peak available this summer and will be looking to fill it sometime in the next 2-3 weeks.. This is our most remote lookout, about a 14 mile hike from the trailhead, which is at Paradise on the headwaters of the Selway. The employee typically gets packed in with stock at the beginning and packed out at the end, but no support during the summer, which is about 3 months, so the logistsics of planning for this is quite extensive. If you're interested, please give me a call at the number below.
