Wrangler In Detail:

A Zion Mountain Ranch Wrangler should be inherently hard working with an honest work ethic, have a natural tendency to be guest-oriented, and enjoy working outdoors with animals.  Wranglers have attention to detail, are safety focused, and are willing to go above and beyond normal job duties in order to provide guests and co-workers with positive interactions.  Wranglers lead guests on 1, 2, & 4 hour scenic trail rides of various terrain in all weather types, so guides are expected to have at least a novice level skill set in horseback riding. Very minimal training should be required for wranglers to be able to begin guiding. Wranglers are capable of lifting small hay bales (50-80lbs) and grain bags (50 lbs), manual labor such as tending wood & barbed wire fence lines, lifting saddles onto horse’s backs, and being outdoors all day. Work schedule is flexible and varies based on the needs of the guests, but is consistent in hours and days off.  

We seek after positive, cooperative, and productive applicants. In order to provide both guests and staff with the highest quality experience we can, we require high standards in grooming. Zion Mountain Ranch maintains a drug and alcohol-abuse-free work and living environment. Due to the nature of the position, we do not condone use of mind altering substances.

We Offer:

  • Complimentary housing or RV hook-ups

  • Adventure opportunities

  • Zion National Park pass (for duration of employment only)

  • Competitive wages with opportunity for strong tip income

  • 50% discount at Cordwood, 25% discount at Zion Mountain Ranch

Take this opportunity to work where you can experience Southern Utah at your doorstep! Due to the rural location, your own transportation is required.
