The sole cook position at a backcountry guest ranch in Wyoming’s Wind River Range near Lander, covering a summer season from mid-June to mid-September and a fall hunting season from September 15 to October 25. Because the ranch carries only one cook alongside its wrangler crew, the posting asks for kitchen management ability as well as cooking experience, plus people skills for working directly with guests. A high school diploma, US work authorisation, a valid driver’s licence and the ability to drive a manual transmission are required; First Aid and CPR are a plus. Free housing and meals are provided. Applicants complete the ranch’s job application and email a cover letter, resume and two recommendation letters.
