  A seasonal position at Denali National Park, Alaska that I was able to take before going back to school to finish my degree.We constructed trails through the park using both hand and automatic tools such as pulaskis, plate compactors, chainsaws, and bobcats. We performed environmental mitigation in sensitive areas or when decommissioning old trails. During this season I also assisted with the scouring of the Kantishna Hills backcountry area during the Richard Hasbell search and rescue.Since we were in the public eye constantly, part of our job also included public outreach related to trails and backcountry topics.
