About this Opportunity

One couple or individual is needed to work as a roving host(s) in the Lake Canyon Recreation area of the Forest. This area is located just off of Utah Highway 31, a National Scenic Byway at about 8500 feet elevation amidst spruce/fir and open meadows. The Lake Canyon area features over 50 developed campsites, several vault toilet facilities, several reservable group sites, and over 10 miles of multiple use trails which are primarily used by off-highway vehicles (OHV) riders to access nearby fisheries at Cleveland and Huntington Reservoirs.

Duties include posting reservations, visitor contact, campsite and toilet cleanup, and compliance monitoring. Weekends are busy and require moderate exertion to keep up with bathroom cleaning and visitor interaction.

Hosts should also be competent OHV riders with their own machines so they can patrol the trails and camping areas.

Hosts are provided a designated campsite with sewer hookup; there is no water or power. The host site receives ample sunlight, ideal for solar panel use. Subsistence for each day worked ($25/day) and reimbursement for mileage for personal OHV and/or personal vehicle use is available.

Schedule is 5 days a week, which includes weekends. Days off are generally mid-week such as Tuesday and Wednesday. All tools and supplies needed to perform this service will be provided.
