If you enjoy sharing your passion for nature and outdoor recreation and have a flexible schedule, this job may be the perfect job for you! LLLT Open Gate Day group hikes are pre-scheduled every Open Gate Day (the first and last weekends of the month). Private guided hikes are scheduled around the guide and participant’s schedules, often on weekdays. The Hiking Guide position is a part-time position, requiring a commitment of leading a minimum of two group or private guided hikes per month during our busier seasons in the Spring and Summer. Availability during weekdays for private guided hikes is preferred, but not required. 
Hiking Guides are responsible for providing participants with excellent customer service through an interpretive, educational hike of up to 4-7 miles and 700-800 ft. of elevation gain. Guides are required to inform participants about the property’s unique biodiversity and natural features, regional historical significance, and increase public understanding and knowledge of LLLT’s mission of conservation, education, and low impact recreation.
