Introduction to Mt. Rainier Guest Services

Welcome to Mt. Rainier Guest Services. Guest Services Inc. is a public benefit corporation dedicated to excellence in food, lodging and leisure services in government facilities. Guest Services began operating cafeterias, newsstands and recreational facilities in Washington D.C. in 1917, and today we are a major presence in food service management, hospitality, recreational and related industries. Under contract with the National Park Service, Guest Services has operated the concession facilities in Mt. Rainier National Park since 1972. It is our mission to provide our guests with the best possible service and quality to guests of Mt. Rainier National Park.

Mt. Rainier Guest Services operates a variety of facilities, including the Paradise Inn, the National Park Inn, the Jackson Memorial Visitor Center and the Sunrise Lodge. We have operations in Food and Beverage, Fine Dining, Housekeeping, Retail, Fast Food and Snack Bar. During the winter we also employ a cross-country ski instructor.

Mt. Rainer Guest Services provides prospective employees with a rich wonderland of glaciers, hiking trails, spectacular views and wildlife. Fishing is permitted without a license. Snowbaording is a popular activity, but mountain biking is not allowed. Employees are even given the opportunity to climb Mt. Rainier!

Seasonal employment generally strarts around May and ends in October. Employees who complete their contracted work period are rewarded with an end of season bonus. We offer in-park dorm style housing to our employees, and also have 11 full hook-up RV sites out of the park. In-park employees have meals and housing deducted, amounting to $60.00 per week. We hire on staff medical personnel for your safety and security.
