Autumn H. began her journey at Yellowstone National Park Lodges as a Hospitality Lodging Intern and now serves as Assistant Front Office Manager at the historic Old Faithful Inn. Autumn originally chose Xanterra for an internship, hoping to grow both professionally and personally, and she found exactly what she was looking for. Supportive mentors, meaningful challenges, and the magic of Yellowstone inspired her to return after graduation and launch her full-time career in the heart of the park. Her favorite part of the job? “Welcoming guests from all corners of the world to their dream destination.” This May, Autumn was also named Manager of the Month at Old Faithful Inn—recognized for her leadership, guest service, and deep connection to our mission of legendary hospitality. When she’s not helping guests create once-in-a-lifetime memories, you can find her hiking, painting, and exploring the natural beauty that surrounds her. We’re proud to have Autumn on our team and can’t wait to see what she’ll accomplish next! #LiveWorkExplore #XanterraLife

At Xanterra, LIVE WORK EXPLORE is our way of life, but when it comes to the Annual Summer Picnic, it’s GAME ON 🏓! HR came ready to ref, rep and rally!😊 While we didn't take home the ping pong championship (shoutout to our 2025 Champs, Andy and Connor! 🏆), we had an incredible time connecting with colleagues and enjoying some summertime fun! Great food, great people, and a great reminder of what makes our company culture so special. Thank you Xanterra!  #xanterralife #liveworkexplore

In 1988, Lida Caraway spent her summer working at Many Glacier Hotel in Glacier National Park—starting in the employee cafeteria and later as a server. Fast forward to 2023 & 2024, her daughter Ellie took on her own Glacier adventure, working at Swiftcurrent her first season and then as a server at Many Glacier Hotel, just like her mom.⁠ Inspired by her mom’s stories, Ellie found her own magic in the mountains—a home away from home full of lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories, including a visit from Lida where she crushed the Grinnell Glacier hike like it was still 1988! Now, Ellie helps others create their own adventures at our national park locations as a recruiter for Xanterra. #LiveWorkExplore #XanterraLife #GlacierJobs #GlacierNationalPark
