The summer counterpart to Yellowstone Outfitters’ hunting camp cook role, feeding guests and crew on horseback pack trips out of Jackson, Wyoming. The outfit holds a U.S. Forest Service permit that rules out permanent structures, so camp runs from wall tents and the cook works with what the pack string brings in; housing and food are provided. The employment page lists pack trip cook alongside trailhead manager/cook, packer and wrangler roles for the summer operation, and states that most hiring is done from December through April. The seven-step online application asks for a photo, resume, work history, references and a self-assessment covering cooking, horse handling, packing and backcountry skills. No pay figure is published.
