What's it REALLY like... Saturday afternoon, 4:30 PM, the bus pulls into the Holiday Inn in downtown Salt Lake City. Molly-that's the bus, is clean, equipped with gear and food gathered earlier. We greet the guests, most likely 12-15 folks from all over the world, help them load their gear onto the bus, and we are off! First stop, dinner an hour or so down the road. Then we continue the journey on to Zion National Park, Yellowstone, or Moab, depending on the tour!  While the bus safely rolls down the highway with you or your co-driver at the helm, the guests chat, get to know each other and then drift off to sleep in their bus beds. Some time in the night, usually between 12-1 AM, the bus stops and everyone sleeps soundly for the rest of the night. 6:30 AM, you or your co-worker, whomever didn't do the night shift drive, will set up the kitchen equipment  and brew fresh cowboy coffee, chop up fresh fruit salad and flip pancakes or french toast with the help of the guests. Lunches will be packed, maps handed out with descriptions and recommendations for what to wear, see and do, and they are off to enjoy a day of sight seeing and hiking. And maybe you too! We'll gather in the late afternoon and head to our next destination which may be another night drive away, or just a few hours. Nights we do not drive, we enjoy cookouts, campfires, roasting marshmallows, star gazing, hot springs, and good company!  Before you know it, a week or more of incredible sights, great conversation with new friends, driving 1200 miles, and fun has gone by and you deliver the guests back to Salt Lake City! If this is how you would like to spend your summer, give us a call!

Benefits: Payment will be discussed during the application process. Most of your meals will be included. Housing may be provided between certain tours. Tips are divided among driver/guides and are typically good, but not a guarantee. It is a fact that you won't make a lot of money working as a driver, but the people you will meet, and the places you will see will change you forever.
