A spacious 24' diameter yurt located between Monte Cristo and Hardware Ranch. Located up on the hillside, visitors are surrounded with amazing views, a wrap-around deck, and mellow low-angle touring.
This area is a recreation mecca with miles and miles of national forest trails less than a mile away! There is also a steep mountainside right east of the yurt for skiers/boarders, and tubing. It stretches north and south so there is always plenty of fresh powder to enjoy. You can't beat this location if you love the outdoors, enjoy solitude, and crave backcountry recreation!
In the wintertime the trail is groomed for 6.5 miles with the last half mile not being groomed, but often has plenty of snowmobiling tracks to follow. The trail is very mellow and has less than a 300’ elevation change from start to finish.
Please contribute a trip report to share your experience for those who visit after you! This not only helps fellow riders, but it also helps hutkeepers ensure that the huts remain in good operating condition.
