Trail Crew Bosses lead and work alongside a busy trail crew. Performs the full range of trail construction and maintenance activities non-motorized trails, often in very remote areas.

Housing, subsistence, and
mileage (if applicable) are provided.
Located in northeastern Utah, the High Uintas Wilderness comprises the wild core of the massive Uinta Mountains. Characterized by the highest peaks in Utah, countless lakes, and a unique alpine ecosystem, it is among the nation’s most outstanding wilderness areas. At 456,705 acres in size, the High Uintas is the largest federal wilderness in the state of Utah.
The main crest of the Uinta Mountains runs west to east for more than 60 miles, rising over 6,00 feet above the Wyoming and Uinta Basins to the north and south. Massive secondary ridges extend north and south from the crest of the range, framing glacial basins and canyons far below This rugged expanse of peaks and flat-top mountains is the largest alpine area in the Intermountain West and is the setting for Kings Peak, the highest peak in Utah. Hundreds of picturesque lakes, streams, and meadows lie within sculpted basins. Cold, clear rivers plunge from the basins into deep canyons that form the headwaters of Utah’s major rivers.
An extensive network of trails (545 miles) leads visitors deep into the wilderness, through thick forests, past rushing streams and placid lakes, to sweeping alpine vistas below majestic peaks. The opportunities for exploration are endless.
