Head Cook
As Head Cook, you will be responsible for feeding up to 24 hungry Dude Ranch guests and 12-15 staff members! This job is
fast-paced, hot, and cramped! We have hired both culinary professionals and self-taught home cooks for this position, both
with great success! Our kitchen is small so you must be able to work efficiently and maintain cleanliness. You will have
an assistant cook to help you execute all three meals, or you can delegate any meals, as long as quality and timeliness
are not sacrificed. We do not micro-manage, which is why we require employees who have the ability to self-start. This
means seeing what needs to be done and accomplishing it without any outside assistance (when applicable).

Wranglers (both Full Time Summer Seasonal & Full Time Permanent)
We have two positions open immediately and two positions open May 1st.
Some of the most important memories that we want to create for our guests are from horseback.
Good candidates for barn positions will have both horse & people sense. This is NOT a horse job, it’s a people job that includes horses. You must be safety-conscious, hospitality-minded, and not one to cut corners.
Barn positions require long hours in the elements working at high elevation. You’ll want to be physically fit and prepared to work one of the hardest summers of your life – but also the most fun summer you’ve ever had!
