Hikers seeking a riverside retreat will find East Fork Yurt requires a walk-in approach through open terrain near flowing water. This privately managed accommodation sits in a landscape where the sound of the river provides a natural backdrop for overnight stays.
The hike-in access means campers need to pack everything they'll need for their stay, as vehicle access stops before reaching the yurt itself. Bear River Campground offers a drive-up alternative less than a mile north for those preferring vehicle camping.
Description
East Fork, at an elevation of 8,500 feet, is 1.5 miles from the North Slope Road Trail Head. The non-motorized trail to the yurt is a winding path on the East Fork Bench. It is a relatively easy trail that enables yurt users to haul extra goods and supplies. The yurt sits on the bench above the East Fork of the Bear River overlooking a large flat meadow below Dead Man’s Pass. From the deck of the yurt there is a stunning vista of 12,400 foot Mount Beulah to the southeast. The yurt is also a great summer stay as well. The yurt is a little more than a fly cast from the East Fork of the Bear River.
