Mystic Saddle Ranch operates pack trips and trail rides in Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountains out of Stanley, and is hiring packers and trail guides. The work is leading guided rides of up to eight people on horseback and packing into the backcountry of central Idaho, with daily stock care and corral chores on top of it. The ranch stresses that excellent customer service is essential, since packers deal directly with guests throughout a trip. Guide training starts in mid-June and the season runs through the middle of September, with some winter work available at the outfit’s Cave Creek, Arizona operation. Some housing is available. Wages depend on previous packing and guiding experience and start at $100 a day plus tips. Applications are submitted through the form on the careers page.
