Hiking Guide

A Hiking Guide takes groups of participants on hikes in natural areas. You might work with people in targeted groups such as tourists or beginning hikers or you might take experienced hikers for more advanced tours. Hiking Guides may provide information on the natural environment or about the area where they are located.

Hiking Guides should be physically fit and knowledgeable about hiking trails. It’s important that you have good interpersonal skills and can communicate well with people from a range of backgrounds. Hiking Guides may promote or advertise their activities and be passionate about physical activity. You’ll ensure safety standards are being met during hiking activities.
