Could not have been a more special experience! We did make it up there no trouble with a ford escape in early October (with a nail in 1 tire no less), not that I’m endorsing that for others… As soon as we got out of the car we heard an elk bugle! Saw the Milky Way in all its glory overnight! Only thing to note is if you’re up there during hunting season park off to the side of the road. Starting at 2am you will get a never ending stream of loud atvs roaring past the yurt to take advantage of the season. Had a lot more human visitors during our stay than was expected but didn’t realize hunters could use the forest road for their activities. No big deal.

The hike up was a little difficult but my husband, 3 girls, and I loved staying in this yurt! It was cozy and warm. We loved the outside firepit and the inside wood stove. The bunkbeds were spacious and there was extra toilet paper, wood, matches, and cooking utensils. We are so excited to go again. Thanks for having this available for a reasonable price.

This yurt is so well maintained by the local FS! What a wonderful trip.

Great secluded yurt. You’ll need 4x4 and good tires to handle the road.

Beautiful yurt! Make sure you have an off road, vehicle with some clearance. It is smooth up until the last 1.5 mi. We usually off road our vehicle but that one was tough, especially after it rained a couple days prior. Beautiful views and feels secluded.

Great spot. Very private and well maintained. The road was rough but manageable.
