A wide range of yurts designed for all ability levels offer unique access to some of the most pristine landscapes in Idaho. Local outfitters and guide services can arrange for an unforgettable back country adventure with rental equipment, guides, safety tips, and instruction. Accommodations vary from comfortably rustic to comfortably elegant. Reservations, although not required, are a good idea for traditionally busy times of year such as Christmas and when there is a full moon. Most huts are equipped with wood stoves, pre-cut firewood, propane cooking units, complete kitchens, bunk beds with sleeping pads, lanterns, and toilets.
Some outfitters offer transportation of clients and supplies by snowmobile as well.
Many of the yurts also offer wood heated saunas. Guided and unguided tours are available to most yurts depending upon need and experience. Renters usually need to bring their own food and sleeping bags. For those less adventurous who still want to experience the yurt ambiance, A Winter's Feast restaurant in Warm Springs offers dinners in a traditional yurt setting accessed either by cross country skis, snow shoes, or a sleigh ride. And remember, it's smart to consult with local outfitters and guide services to maintain safety in the mountains.
