Park trail crews at Redwood, Point Reyes, Yosemite, Crater Lake, Mount Rainier and Olympic are hiring seasonal laborers for 2027. The work is brushing and clearing trails, building and repairing trail bridges, reconditioning drainage, replacing culverts, grading tread, some concrete and asphalt, and cleaning backcountry toilets; WG-4 adds driving light vehicles and more tool work. There is no education route: you are rated on your ability to do the work, and you must be able to lift 50 pounds, with a driver’s license needed for vehicle duties. The usual season is April through October with an expected start in April 2027, and appointments run up to 1,039 or 1,560 hours depending on the park. Pay is $19.36 to $30.51 an hour, varying by location. Government housing may be available but is not guaranteed, and moving costs are not paid. Apply on USAJOBS by 11/03/2026; it closes at the first 500 applications.
