    Back From Grand Canyon National Park

    Thanks, Graham. To be sure, I worked for wages and tips as an Interpretive Guide on tours, but the monitoring of hikers was strictly volunteer based during many of the days I was off. I look forward to seeing your VLP itinerary. And thanks for your willingness to share :-)

    Back From Grand Canyon National Park

    Back From Grand Canyon National Park

    I did see that; thanks for posting it. This change has been in the works for a long time, and the Grand Canyon Conservancy was one of the lead stakeholders in advocating for the change. It is something that gives me mixed feelings, but change happens and it will likely help solidify the...

    For those wondering, I have been employed as a Certified Interpretive Guide for Grand Canyon National Park since March, though I did not begin giving Interpretive Tours until the end of June. I lived and worked inside the Park for the duration, but my seasonal contract ended and I am thankful to...

    Omicron be damned, I bought flights to Portugal today
