Reggie ya didn't see what? As for where Ive worked I've worked 4 locations in the park, from Mammoth, to Grant, to Lake and old faithful. In Yosemite I worked Curry Village and then I worked two resorts outside Yellowstone, (Togwotee and Flagg) an...

Thomas you worked Yellowstone????? hmmm work with you all summer and find out sumpin new after were gone. Yellowstone in my opinion is theeeee park. Much more to do and see. Grand Canyon is nice but Yellowstone has a whole lot more. It even has a ...
i had worked at Yellowstone and Grand Canyon North Rim , i liked Yellowstone better .
housing , food , activities are a whole lot better than North Rim .
best location , Old Faithful , Snow Lodge .
The best time, depending on whether mom-and-pop or corporate can be from Dec. to March. Corporate types hire earlier and mom-and pops later. Which places are best depends entirely on what you like... hot or cold? Mountains or Beaches? Crowded or r...
I am looking at working out in Yellowstone or somewhere in Utah, What places are the best and when is the best time to apply?
Old Faithful is NOT great $$$$ I just left there and made less than 1/2 of what I made in Alaska the year prior for the same number of hours. Most tips are credit which are on the paycheck, not cash at the end of the day. If you want Yellowstone, ...
Yellowstone, I really liked it. Apply online for yellowstone, I don't know if you can state a preference on work location or not, but Old Faithful is a fun location.
Flora, how did you get your job at the Old Faithful? any tips or contacts? Thanks
u must go to old faithful to be a server cause u will love it.i just left work at old faithful inn on 10/14/09.
My guess would be a server position at either the Lake Hotel or The Old Faithful Inn. These are the gourmet restaurants in the park, and the servers there make huge tips. Not sure how you get one of these jobs, but it would be worth a try. These a...

Considering Alaska for Summer 2010
I have never done seasonal work. I am looking for a server psoition and I have no idea where to start or what to expect. My sister and I decided it would be a great way for us to spend quality time together but I am a bit overwhelmed. I am wondering about lodging and how to get around if I don't have a vehicle.
