Yurts and Lodging

If you've always wanted to stay in a back country yurt, but didn't fancy carrying your gear 4 miles uphill through 6 feet of powder, and thought, "Wouldn't it be great if Enchanted Forest had rental yurts on their trails?" this is the year you have been waiting for!

Enchanted Forest is adding several rental yurts over the next 3 years. Phase one, the first yurt, is at the Linda's Leg trailhead on Little John, about 1 mile from the base area on an easier to more difficult rout. The yurt is semi primitive, but comfortable with a wood stove for heat, dining table, kitchen area and bunks. We call this "Glamping". There is also an outhouse, a full stock of firewood, and a great view of Wheeler Peak nearby. Use of the yurt also gives you access to Enchanted Forest's trails at night! Just remember, you are on your own and be careful.

This is still WINTER CAMPING, not a hotel room. There is no room or maid service. Heat is provided by a wood stove, wood provided. It will still get cold overnight, but not as cold as a tent only. You must provide your own sleeping bag (at least 20º or colder rating highly recommended), pillow, food, and transport (ski or snowshoe) to yurt. Drinking water is from melting snow, or you can bring gallon jugs available at any store for 89¢ to get you started. We provide a gear pulk for helping transport your stuff to the yurt, and we offer a gear delivery via snowmobile for $20. Kitchen items, pans, plates, silverware etc. and a stove and lantern are provided in the yurt. Sorry, no pets are allowed at the yurt, even service animals, due to heath, forest biology, and safety reasons.
