Overview

Lower Montgomery is fully equipped with (2) twin over full bunkbeds, (1) twin over twin bunk, and (1) trundle bed.

This location offers stunning views of Diamond Peak, Nokhu Crags, Mt. Richthofen, and Seven Utes. Unique to Montgomery, these yurts are the only ones with two sites within walking distance of each other, making them ideal for larger groups – close enough for two parties, yet private enough for just one.

The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, utensils, percolator, electric cooktop and a wood stove. The solar system provides outlets to charge devices and gear. Outside you will find the vault toilet room, stocked wood, and outdoor grill that can be used with the supply of your own charcoal. You will want to bring bedding/sleeping bag, pillows, food, water, wash cloths, and garbage bags.

There are no showers or running water at this location. Guests should plan to bring / melt their own potable water for drinking and cooking, and guests will need to bring their own filtration systems.

The Yonder Yurts are a pack-in, pack-out experience; there is a Yonder Yurt dumpster located at the office near the park entrance where you can dispose of your trash. Please triple check you gathered all of your belongings and food (including spices, condiments, coffee) before you leave.
