Program in the Spotlight Do you want to enjoy an adventure of a lifetime and get paid for it? Tour Guides are responsible for delivering in-depth headset commentary to guests on the geology, history, flora, and fauna of the region while driving a 7 or 15-passenger van. Multi-day tours require you to be comfortable towing a 5x8-foot cargo trailer. Additional responsibilities include handling group dynamics, food shopping and cooking, planning and problem solving on the road, maintaining outdoor equipment, managing accounting and paperwork pre and post tour, and ensuring a safe and fun experience for all clients. The guiding season runs from March (sometimes earlier) through the end of October, with options for full/part-time contracts and those who wish to be on-call for ad hoc tours during the crunch season. The base rate for first year Guides ranges from $150-$205/day depending on industry experience, plus a generous seasonal bonus package and 401k. With tips and commissions, experienced Guides can earn as much as $500/day. Benefits include accommodations and meals while on tour, full training, and housing in between tours. If you have strong leadership and motivational skills, a passion for the outdoors, able to multi-task, and possess exceptional people skills, learn more at BindlestiffToursJobs.com.

Friends of Nevada Wilderness

Trail Crews

Friends of Nevada Wilderness is a statewide conservation non-profit with a mission to protect all present and potential wilderness from ongoing threats, educate the public about the values of and need for wilderness, and improve the management and restoration of wild lands.

Spend your summer exploring Nevada’s vast and little-known wilderness areas while having an adventure of a lifetime. A typical Trail Crew week begins with loading the truck with gear, tools, camp kitchen, and food at the warehouse in Sparks followed by a 3-8 hour road trip to a trailhead in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. Then the hard work begins. After setting up base camp, crews clip back overgrown brush, saw an opening in any fallen trees, direct water off the trail, and practice sustainable tread repair techniques to get each trail back up to standards. Crews will work an 8-day hitch followed by 6 days off. Crew Leads begin in mid-May while Crew Members join the team in June. Work continues through mid-August or late September. Compensation includes $21.50/hour + $32.25/hour overtime for Leaders and $17.50/hour + $26.25/hour overtime for Members. All staff receive extra pay for holidays worked, a $245/month health stipend, WFA certification, trail maintenance training, potential for more training/certifications, and access to pro-deals. Leaders must be 21+ with a valid driver’s license and have trail work/outdoor leadership experience; Members must be 18+ with a history of remote outdoor camping and travel along with demonstrated capacity to thrive in a rugged environment.

Now hiring Crew Leaders and Crew Members for the 2025 season! To apply, email your cover letter, resume, and three professional references to Tara Nasvik (noting preferred position).
