Expeditions Guide

Expeditions Program (All Positions): The Expeditions program consists of Classic (guided) Expeditions and Self-Supported (unguided) Expeditions. The Expeditions program hosts groups of 4–6 guests for 5–7-night customized trips based at cabin locations beyond A Bar A headquarters.  

Expeditions Guide: Works as a member of the Expeditions Program team; reports to Expeditions Directors and Operations Manager. Expeditions include activities in backcountry terrain and guides must be comfortable navigating in remote landscapes on and off ranch property. Expedition Guides host guests at Expeditions lodging locations, including:

• Providing instruction, safety, and guiding services for fly-fishing, hiking, and clay shooting activities
• Meal hosting and preparation
• Trip logistics (e.g., packing, restocking, transportation, etc.)
• Cleaning and upkeep of facilities and equipment
• Care for horses used for Expeditions

Expeditions guides must submit a fly-fishing video (see A Bar A website staff pages for instructions). 

Key traits for success: guiding and orientation skills, customer service, adaptability, teamwork, stamina/work ethic, independence, and attention to detail.

Expeditions Guides work a 6-day work week with an average of 11 hours/day. They must be able to lift/carry at least 40 pounds.
