This is a full-time, non-benefited seasonal position. Salary is commensurate with experience and ranges from $9 to $13 per hour. Juneau is located in the temperate rainforest of Southeast Alaska, surrounded by alpine peaks, active glaciers and the waters of the Inside Passage. Trail Mix, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created by the U.S. Forest Service, Alaska State Parks, and the City & Borough of Juneau to coordinate trail building efforts throughout Alaska's capital city. Job Description Applicant Requirements Applicants of all skill levels are encouraged to apply.

Much of Juneau clings to a narrow strip of land between the waters of the Inside Passage and dramatic 4,000-foot peaks. Despite being 900 miles north of Seattle, the climate is relatively temperate: summer temperatures range from the low 40s to high 70s, with more than 100 inches of rainfall each year. With no access to the continental road system, the only route to/from Juneau is by air or sea. Alaska Airlines offers daily flights from Seattle, and the Alaska Marine Highway provides regular ferry service from Bellingham, Wash., Prince Rupert, B.C., and Skagway & Haines, Alaska. The cost of living is approximately 25% higher than in the Lower 48. For more information on Trail Mix, Inc., or to obtain an application, please visit http://www.juneautrails.org.
