WAGONS WEST
(Afton, Wyoming)
Seasonal (Summer)

"Wagons ho!" cries the trailmaster and your trip is off. Wagons West re-creates those wondrous days of yesteryear with authentic covered wagon treks through the foothills of the Grand Tetons in Jackson
Hole, Wyoming. The wagons are lead by teams of gentle horses and guests may choose to either ride in a covered wagon or follow on horseback. Evenings are spent camping under the stars, sharing a campfire/dutch oven-cooked meal and listening to the "old-timers" share tales of the Wild West. The company operates trips each year from early June through early September.

SPECIFICS: Wagons West receives approximately fifty applications for their ten seasonal staff positions. In a typical year, about half of their ten staffers will be new employees. All jobs are summer seasonal from June 1 through September 1. Applications are accepted for wagon drovers (teamsters), wranglers, cooks, and campfire entertainers. There is no application deadline and hiring is done as needed throughout the year.

INSIDER TIPS: "From our years of outfitting wilderness pack trips, we realize that many people wish to have a genuine outdoor experience but cannot spend the time or do not feel qualified to undertake such a strenuous expedition. From the recognition of the needs of these nature lovers, Wagons West has developed."  A family owned business.

PERKS: Meals and housing are provided for all employees.
