Access
The yurt is available only for winter trips. No motorized access is allowed.
It is approximately a two mile cross-country ski or snowshoe trip from the plowed road to the yurt. The ski in begins with about a mile of gradual climbing, followed by a short descent (which is often blown clear of snow), then a very slight climb up through a pretty drainage, concluding with a short, moderate ascent through the woods to the yurt.
For touring around the yurt, it is possible for skiers with good route finding ability to make their way over to Jenny Lind Gulch and ski the upper bowl. This takes about 45 minutes to an hour each way. It's also lots of fun, especially for younger adventurers, to just tromp around in the trees nearby!
