Wrangler

Rainbow Trout Ranch is a historic guest ranch in the Conejos River valley of southern Colorado, and wrangler is one of the roles listed as open for application on its employment page. The ranch describes itself as a first-class guest operation with high expectations of its crew, and says plainly that a ranch job is not a paid vacation: the hours are long and the work is hard, though it considers the rewards lasting. It hires only people it judges to be genuinely enthusiastic about the work. Applications are made through the form on the job opportunities page, which also carries the ranch’s other seasonal positions including chef, baker, children’s counsellor, fly fishing guide and housekeeping. No wage figure or season dates are published with the wrangler listing.
