    Outdoor Careers in Idaho

    Idaho offers exceptional outdoor employment opportunities in some of America's most pristine and uncrowded wilderness. The state is home to over 4 million acres of designated wilderness, more than any other state except Alaska, creating extensive opportunities for backcountry rangers and wilderness guides. Sun Valley pioneered destination ski resorts in America and continues to offer premium winter employment alongside other Idaho ski areas. The Sawtooth, Frank Church River of No Return, and Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness areas provide remote backcountry positions for those seeking solitude and adventure. Idaho's rivers, including the Salmon River (the 'River of No Return'), support a thriving whitewater rafting industry. The state's lower cost of living compared to neighboring mountain states, combined with world-class outdoor access, makes it increasingly attractive for outdoor professionals. Idaho's conservation programs, managed by state and federal agencies, offer positions in wildlife management, trail work, and resource protection. The outdoor industry in Boise and other cities is growing, with increasing opportunities in outdoor retail, education, and programming.
