Guide Jobs and Trip Leaders

Salmon River, Idaho

A class four rapid or a hairy mountain traverse doesn’t make you sweat. You enjoy sharing your passion for adventure with others, even if they don’t know the difference between an inflatable kayak and a cataraft. When you talk, people listen, and that makes you the perfect guide. Find your calling.
