Beulah Vista, our newest yurt, is located out the east fork of the Bear River about 2.5 miles from the trailhead at an elevation of about 8600 feet.  Access to the Beulah Vista Yurt is via the non-motorized trail system of the East Fork Bench, about a mile past the East Fork Yurt on the Lower East Fork Trail.  On clear days it features a stunning view of Mount Beulah from the front door.  This is our largest yurt (24' in diameter) and can accomodate up to 12 people.  

Beluah Vista Yurt

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.

Lily Lake is about a 3 mile ski from the trail head at 8,900 feet elevation. This yurt is snowmobile accessible as it is outside the non-motorized area. At the top of Sage Draw where the trail turns sharply to the east, the non-motorized and motorized trails intersect. It is important to exercise caution at this intersection, as non-motorized users are now sharing the trail with motorized users.
