Jenny Carey

Jenny first arrived in Steamboat in 2005 during her college summers at Michigan State University to join Rocky Mountain Youth Corps. The three seasons she spent building portions of the Continental Divide Trail throughout Colorado and Wyoming were incredibly formative and life changing experiences and 16 years later she has somehow managed to make a career in trails! After RMYC she spent three seasons with the trail crew out of Pinedale, WY for the Bridger Teton National Forest. Like so many, the Yampa Valley curse drew her back to Steamboat in 2010 where she joined the RMYC staff as a program director to manage recruitment and hiring for the Conservation Corps program. She currently works for the City of Steamboat Springs as the Open Space and Trails Supervisor. She still loves getting out with the city trail crew to get her hands dirty and swing a tool and is looking forward to a new role with RMYC which has been such a huge part of her life.
