A single yurt sits on open terrain within Sawtooth National Forest, accessible via rough roads that require careful navigation. This private accommodation operates under a no-pets policy, making it unsuitable for travelers with animals. The elevated location provides unobstructed views across the surrounding landscape.
The facility caters to those seeking a structured camping alternative without traditional tent setup. Rough access conditions mean high-clearance vehicles perform better on the approach route. Nearby options include Prairie Creek Camping and Silver Creek for campers preferring conventional sites. This works best for small groups comfortable with remote access and pet-free requirements.
Description
Great for families, novice and intermediate skiers, track skiers, snowshoers and snowboarders, the Boulder Yurts are one of the most popular of our huts.
After an easy 1.5 mile tour from the trail-head, you arrive at the foot of Butterfield Mountain opposite the magnificent craggy Boulder Mountains.
Two Yurts, located at 7,120 feet elevation, connected with a framed annex accommodate 14 people. All amenities are provided including: two wood stoves for heat, Goal Zero solar powered lanterns for light and speaker for mp3 players, a three burner propane stove for cooking, all pots, pans, and cookware to produce a feast-including a dutch-oven and fondue set (bring your own fuels), a charcoal grill (bring your own charcoal), all tableware and cutlery, books, magazines, board games, bunks with mattresses, a covered outhouse, and a classic wood fired SAUNA! Guests need to bring only sleeping bags, clothes and food.There are many winter-fun options for the Boulder yurt guest ranging from track skiing on the immaculately groomed 30 Kilometer Harriman Trail, touring through the meadows and along the ridges around the Yurt, taking some downhill runs on the fantastic Ice-cream ridge above the Yurt, or hitting the sledding slope outside the hut.
The Boulder Yurts are a great destination for all interests and abilities!
