Six backcountry yurts located in the Boise Mountains, about 90 minutes northeast of Boise, provide unique opportunities to enjoy "winter camping" with all the comforts of home, so to speak: such as bunks, gas stoves, wood-burning stoves and the toasty shelter of a circular Mongolian-style yurt.
The yurts are administered by the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation and available for rent year around. But, by far, winter is the most popular time for these yurts. Picture yourself peering out the frosty window of a yurt and seeing the rose-colored light glowing over the surrounding snowy mountain peaks at dawn. Sure, it's minus 6 outside and the air is so cold it's crystallizing and sparkling in the faint sunlight. But, you crawl out of your sleeping bag inside a yurt that is 70 degrees from the heat of the wood stove and gaze out across the distance mountain ranges. It's easy to step over to the propane stove and get the coffee pot going and then huddle up in a chair next to the fire and look at topo maps of trails that you want to explore. Even the morning's walk to the outhouse can be an adventure. Although a little frigid, you soon forget about it as you see fresh tracks left in the snow by a nocturnal snowshoe hare. Maybe small snow drifts were sculpted during the night.
Like I said, the yurts provide an easy way for snowshoers and Nordic skiers to “camp” in the backcountry in the winter and take in these experiences in relative comfort. They are equipped with bunks, cookware, a propane stove, and firewood for easy and convenient overnight stays. Visitors only have to bring personal items, sleeping bags, and food. Staying in a yurt is a whole different experience from city life. First, get the sausage, eggs, and hash browns sizzling in a frying pan over the propane stove. Most yurters haul their gear and food in on a sled that can be as simple as a kids' plastic toboggan or an elaborate sled used by ice anglers, hunters, or backcountry guides. After breakfast, it’s time to think about chores, which might be something new for urbanites: You’ve got to haul snow and melt it over the wood stove for cooking water, washing dishes, and drinking. Remember to boil it for drinking. You also have to bring in a load of firewood from the storage shed so you’ll have a warm, cozy fire for your whole stay.
You need to shovel the deck and pathways to the outhouse and woodshed, but you get into a rhythm as the days go on. Soon, it’s time to head out on trails right out the front door. The yurts make great jumping-off points for hitting rarely traveled trails way off the highway. They lead to woodsy hollows, open ridges, and viewpoints that most folks wouldn’t see in the winter. The snowy terrain seems endless—and what a way to spend the day. Most skiers and snowshoers have their favorite yurts and terrain, but with six yurts to choose from in the area near Idaho Highway 21 northeast of Idaho City, there’s a chance to try out different ones each winter. However, you have to be ready to book a yurt nine months in advance. All weekends are booked this winter but you can still find openings on week days. because cancellations are posted immediately. If you want a winter weekend booking, you'll have to start booking in March for December openings. Winter interest in the yurts tapers off in April and you can usually get reserve a couple of nights during that month.
There's still plenty of snow at the yurts through the end of April. The yurts, structurally, are all basically the same—circular, Mongolian-style domed tents about 20 feet in diameter. They have plywood floors, canvas-and-lattice sidewalls, and a skylight. They have bunks, chairs, a table, cooking area, and pantry, and plenty of hooks to hang wet clothing and gear. But yurt locations are different and the terrain can be very different. They are located on unique knolls and ridges, and offer different experiences with unique views, trails, and terrain. They are spread across 10 square miles in an area between Idaho City and Lowman near Beaver Creek and Mores Creek summits. Plan several winters in advance and give each yurt a try. Here’s a quick look at the advantages of each yurt: Located: Off Beaver Creek Summit.Breaking trail can be difficult. Elevation gain: 680 feet.
