Yellowstone National Park Lodges

Our beloved Rick H. (pictured left) is off to seek greener pastures, hanging up his marketing and sales hat after over three decades of dedicated service to Yellowstone. We'll all miss his passion, kindness, and those legendary one-liners that could light up any room or meeting. Rick's humor and positive energy made him a fantastic spokesperson for the park, and his presence will be sorely missed. Here's to Rick and his well-deserved retirement! Cheers! #yellowstonejobs #ynplodges

Just another day at the docks! Visitors and employees at Bridge Bay Marina were thrilled to see a moose swimming past our rental boats and marina docks. Photo credit: C. Cassidy #yellowstonejobs #ynplodges #xanterralife #MarinaLife #DockViews

Six out of nine hotel operations are now up and running in Yellowstone — just three more to go over the next few weeks! Pictured here is the 2024 Lake Maintenance Team, who worked tirelessly to get the historic Lake Hotel ready for another summer of welcoming guests. They're now gearing up for the opening of Lake Lodge on June 10! Shout out to boiler technician Tom Denny for capturing this moment! #yellowstonejobs #liveworkexplore #xanterralife #ynplodges

We shared another successful spring cleaning event on the highway leading North from Yellowstone. Gathering to honor Earth Day as we prepare for the summer season within Yellowstone has become a beloved tradition among us. Beneath the expansive blue skies, it felt as though Mother Nature herself was smiling upon our efforts, affirming our commitment to preserving the beauty of our natural surroundings and protecting the park for future generations. Thanks to the 25 members of the Xanterra family who didn't let the brisk morning temps keep them from chipping in. #xanterralife #yellowstonejobs #liveworkexplore #EarthDay #stewardship #yellowstonenationalpark

A big cheers to Kristi Cottam, Megan Duffy, John Cronk, and Ellen Foster from the Food and Beverage crew! They recently earned their Level One Sommelier certifications after putting in some serious study time, delving into everything from old and new world wines, soil nuances, and mastering the art of tasting. Now armed with a breadth of wine knowledge and refined skills, they're excited to develop park menus and create specials that complement our wine selection. Congratulations team!

Our dedicated team members have worked hard to close and button up Yellowstone's winter lodges this week, and most are making their way out of the park. A small handful remain to keep the Geyser Grill and retail shop open at Old Faithful. It's a bittersweet ending with lots of fresh snow recently falling, but eager beavers are also ready to travel and explore beyond Yellowstone's borders. It was fantastic to have Mammoth finally open again - thanks to everyone for a wonderful winter season!

Wondering what it's like to work in Yellowstone National Park? Our campground manager and talent acquisition supervisor talk about what it's like living and working in Yellowstone and how to snag a job in the world's first national park. Now hiring for the 2024 season! https://lnkd.in/gUgqvbym

Today is officially #Rakday and the close of Random Acts of Kindness Week! In the spirit of kindness, we'd like to introduce Yellowstone #raktivist Ted Long of the Mammoth Hotel Gift Shop! He recently saved the day, buying a bottle of canned water (#sustainability) for a fellow co-worker who desperately needed some extra help clearing her throat. These random acts of kindness are part of his DNA, always welcoming guests, going the extra mile to serve visitors and fellow employees, and helping someone in need. Thanks, Ted, for spreading good cheer and for all you do! #RandomActsOfKindness #KindnessMatters #SpreadKindness #raktivist #yellowstonejobs #xanterralife

Today marks the first day of Random Acts of Kindness Week! While Yellowstone is most known for its wildlife and thermal geology, the park's employee community generates its own brand of beauty. Welcoming and inclusive, there is no shortage of kindness floating around. Meet "raktivists," Pancho Martinez, pictured below as he generously shares his stash of fortune cookies and the Mammoth Housing Team who created an "inspiration board" that filled with notes of positivity within hours! #yellowstonejobs #xanterralife #liveworkexplore #rakweek #kindness #raktivists.

In honor of Veteran's Day, we are celebrating Dave Maravetz, who is not only a 24-year Veteran of Yellowstone but a four-year Veteran of the United States Navy. Since variety is the spice of life, Dave took to trying out various positions in the park and excelled in all (Reservations, Food and Beverage Management, Risk management, and finally, Engineering). After reaching the pinnacle of his park career, Dave has made the decision to retire and spend more time with family. During his Yellowstone journey, Dave also met Kathy, a wonderful person who ultimately became his wife. Kathy is also a tenured park employee with 33 years under her belt. She has contributed her skills to various roles in the park, most recently in the general accounting office. And they are heading out together! We will certainly miss their big smiles and laid-back nature and wish them both the very best as they embark on their next adventure. Thanks to both Dave and Kathy for their years of service to Yellowstone National Park. Happy Veterans Day, and thanks to all who have served our country!!
