Large Backcountry Yurts

Large Backcountry Yurts

Our large backcountry yurts are located one mile from the Main Lodge and sit at the top of an open meadow overlooking beautiful Kendrick Peak. In the summertime, enjoy a mellow hike or bike to the unit. If you're looking for an adventure, visit us in the wintertime and ski or snowshoe! Each yurt is equipped with a wood stove and sleeping pads that make them the perfect backcountry yurt camping experience for six to eight. Please note that driving on our trail system is prohibited - but don't worry, we will make sure you have an excellent backcountry experience! Check out the booking information below to learn more about the Columbine and Sunflower yurts. Cancellation policy is 5 days before your booking date.  ALL GUESTS TO THE BACKCOUNTRY MUST ARRIVE BY 1:00PM AND LEAVE TO THE UNIT NO LATER THAN 2:30PM NO EXCEPTIONS. Please call to book a gear shuttle.
