Alaska Nature Guides is now taking applications to fill several naturalist hiking guide positions for the summer of 2019. Our guides lead nature walks, hikes, and other tours in the spectacular wilderness of Denali State Park and Talkeetna, Alaska. Your clients are generally well educated, appreciative, and very interested in learning about nature and Alaska.
Â
Only highly qualified candidates should apply. We prefer candidates with experience in wilderness skills, natural history, and guiding in Alaska. Applicants must be familiar with Alaskan flora and fauna and have a genuine interest in learning more. Guides must be physically fit, certified in first aid and CPR, and should be familiar with Leave No Trace ethics. This position involves a high degree of customer contact; applicant should be mature, responsible, independent, self-sufficient, fun, highly motivated, and enthusiastic. You will also drive a 15-passenger van and must have no accidents or violations on your record for the last three years.
Â
Housing is available at our guides' residence within the park. The park is fairly remote, so you should have your own reliable transportation. The hiking, fishing, canoeing, and wildlife viewing are fantastic, but there are few amenities or social outlets nearby. Our season is approximately May 20 - Sept. 20, but some positions are shorter. We usually do our hiring in January and February, so please contact us and apply as soon as you can.
