About Ofland - formerly Yonder

We want to hear from you - email us with any questions you may have! Escalante-jobs@ofland.com


Does 2,147,739 acres of America’s Wild West sound like your kind of backyard?

In Escalante, you can explore both Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef National Parks as well as the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, Dixie National Forest, and a handful of State Parks. Oh, and you can walk to the Petrified Forest State Park, too!

Escalante is a small town with no traffic lights, yet it has everything you need to live comfortably. While a trip to Walmart is 3 hours away, locally farmed produce is available right in town. Escalante has a small grocery store, clinic + pharmacy, a car mechanic and a handful of restaurants. With 2.5 million acres of adventure in arms reach, this is the perfect place to quench your thirst for outdoor fun.  

Our season starts in March and ends in October yearly.

If you thrive on adventure and love exploring beautiful remote locations, check us out!

We are looking for team players who like to work hard and adventure even harder. Ofland supports you by doing our best to provide our employees with a healthy work/life balance.

All our employees interact with guests daily; a genuine smile and helpful attitude goes a long way in making the guest stay a special one. We like to hire mature levelheaded adults, no drama found here!

Getting Here and Getting Around

Ofland is roughly a 5-hour drive from Salt Lake City and Las Vegas. Once here, we are less than 2 miles outside of Escalante proper, but it is highly recommended that you have a vehicle to get to and from town for personal errands, etc.

Escalante is a small town with no traffic lights, yet it has everything you need to live comfortably:

  • Clinic + pharmacy
  • Small grocery store
  • Mercantile with organic options
  • Locally-farmed produce
  • Car mechanic
  • 3 gas stations
  • 10 restaurants

There are no public transportation offerings in Escalante, such as a bus service or Uber/Lyft.

For Fun

If you love the outdoors, you will not be disappointed with your time in Escalante.

This is one of the most beautiful places on earth with so much to see and do. There is something for everyone! With easy access to mountains, desert, slot canyons, a pretty cool river, and tons more, you will love it here. There is always more to explore, and we are happy to show you all of our favorite spots!

As a part of the international dark sky, the milk way can be seen with the naked eye more than half the year. The stars out here are guaranteed to take your breath away! Our full moons light up the desert and you can easily go for a walk without a light.

We know this can be a stellar chapter in anyone’s book with endless ways to write the story.
