Is it hard to get a good all year job at yellowstone or the grand tetons?

Question

i'm just wondering...

if anyone on here has ever worked there...

what kind of jobs arn't just seasonal?

hows the pay?

where do you usually live?

if the worker has a family, do they usuaally live outside or inside the park?

if you know the answers to some of these questions i would be so grateful!!

also, if you know of other parks (preferably with mountains) and their working situations let me know about those.

THANK YOU!

Answer 1

Yellowstone is a tourist trap. Thus almost all the jobs are seasonal.

Answer 2

There are year-round jobs at most of the resorts - and for actual park workers: However, there are is quite a bit of competition for these positions.  The best way to get a full-time position is to get a seasonal job and prove yourself - then start applying for year-round jobs.



The problem is that most of the park area closes down in the winter (due to the amount of snow - and fall off of tourists).  Heck, even most of the Rangers in the parks are only 10 month positions.

Good luck!
