Work in Yosemite National Park

In the travel section of the Sacramento Bee, is a blurb noting that DNC Parks and Resorts, which runs Yosemite's hotels and concessions in the national park, is hiring. They need 1,800 people to fill housekeeping, kitchen and other positions for the summer season. Most of the larger national parks have concessionaires or companies that have a contract to run tourist operations like hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and tourist activities within the park in return for a percentage of sales.

DNC and most other concessionaires have dormitory housing and some RV sites and usually have an inexpensive meal plan. Wages may not be tops but most of your recreation is free. You could be hiking on your days off in Yosemite or the Grand Canyon or Bryce Canyon (pictured) or another gorgeous park.

You may spot an ad for jobs with concessionaires in city newspapers. An even better place to look is in Workamper News, where a number of concessionaires advertise. Jaimie
