We're always looking for passionate, skilled guides who love Colorado's rivers as much as we do.
Guiding is physically demanding. We look for candidates who are fit, capable, and have documented time on moving water — not just a class, but real river experience.
This isn't just a job — it's a lifestyle. We want people who genuinely love being on the river and bring that energy to every guest they guide.
Our guides are the face of Liquid Descent. Strong communication, patience with beginners, and the ability to make people feel safe and excited are essential.
Work on some of the best whitewater in Colorado — Clear Creek and the Colorado River are genuinely special places to spend a season.
We pay competitive seasonal wages that reflect the skill and responsibility our guides bring to every trip.
All guide gear — helmet, PFD, wetsuit, drysuit when needed — is provided and maintained by us. You show up ready; we've got you covered.
Liquid Descent is built on people who genuinely love what they do. You'll join a crew that supports each other on and off the water.
We hire seasonally for spring through fall operations. Both locations are currently accepting applications for the upcoming season.
