Work in Washington Veterans Jobs

Imagine looking back on that time you spent a summer working on an active volcano. Venture through the park to discover waterfalls, streams, coves, lakes, and wildlife on over 260 miles of hiking trails leading through the old-growth forest of the river valleys and the high subalpine meadows on the flanks of Mount Rainier. Rainier Guest Services manages Jackson Visitor Center and Paradise Inn located high on the mountain with a gorgeous view of Mount Rainier's peak, National Park Inn tucked within the lush forest, and Sunrise Day Lodge with its gorgeous meadows and unequalled skyline. Any one of these could be your home for the summer! We operate year-round, but because Mount Rainier is one of the snowiest places in the lower 48 states, our primary season is the warmest part of the summer from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Our team of around 240 dedicated, talented, and friendly associates serve the summer influx of guests who come to the mountain to experience the same serenity, wonder, and magnificence you'll experience every day! Our Summer 2024 Season Runs May through September!
