Swan Mountain Outfitters holds the horseback concession in Glacier National Park and lists packers among its current openings alongside trail ride wranglers and corral managers. The operation runs corrals at West Glacier, Apgar, Lake McDonald and Many Glacier, and the season can run from May 1 to October 15, with preference given to people who can commit to the whole stretch. Packers must be comfortable around and knowledgeable about horses and must hold, or be willing to obtain, valid CPR and Wilderness First Aid certification. Packer positions are salaried and include room and board: in-park staff are housed in ranch-style bunkhouses, while West Glacier employees stay in a canvas wall-tent camp known as Wrangler Village. Corral staff also receive tips from clients. No wage figure is published.
