Apply to Guide
We're always building our guide bench for future seasons. If you've thru-hiked and think you've got the experience, leadership, and passion to help others fall in love with backpacking, we'd love to hear from you.
Minimum Requirements
TCT currently operates Pacific Crest Trail trips and is building its guide bench for future Triple Crown trail expansion — so we welcome experienced PCT, Appalachian Trail, and Continental Divide Trail hikers to apply now. These two requirements help ensure every guide has substantial firsthand long-distance trail experience and the wilderness medical preparation necessary to support TCT hikers.
- Have thru-hiked or completed a substantial portion of at least one Triple Crown trail (PCT, AT, or CDT)
- Hold a current Wilderness First Aid (WFA) certification or higher
