My brother-in-law is the director of sustainability at the company which operates Bright Angel[1] and El Tovar[2] at the Grand Canyon.
It so happens they're there this week for the company's annual meeting. Timely article.
They may not have exactly the same employment policy today, but working at the National Park concessions is still an interesting opportunity for young people (from around the world). Fresh out of college, my sister worked at Yellow Stone. There were other young people from all over. As a naturalist and photographer, she really enjoyed living 200 yards from Old Faithful for a summer.

- msisk6 9y agoMy son and his girlfriend (now wife) worked over-winter in Yellowstone for Xanterra after college and they really enjoyed the experience.
