More About Outdoor Jobs in Utah
Utah licenses river guides through the Utah Division of Outdoor Recreation, which requires a set number of training days, first aid and CPR. Hunting guides work under licensed outfitters registered with the Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing.
Moab and Vernal outfitters hire more first-year guides than anywhere else in the Southwest because day trips on the Colorado through Fisher Towers and the Green through Split Mountain need large guide staffs. Multi-day guides on Cataract Canyon, Desolation Canyon and the Yampa need Swiftwater Rescue and Wilderness First Responder and usually a season of day-trip experience first.
