Rocky Ridge Yurt
The Rocky Ridge yurt is accessed from the Whoop-Um-Up Park N’ Ski parking lot. The trails are not groomed to this yurt. This yurt is a favorite of dog lovers and snowshoers. The yurt is located at the end of a rocky finger ridge, providing a spectacular, 180-degree view to the east, south, and west. This is the “dog friendly yurt”, where dogs are allowed in the winter. The rolling terrain around the yurt provides a playground for showshoers. Snow is usually available early December to mid April .
Spring,Summer and Fall
Rocky Ridge yurt is ideally located for fishing in the Crooked River. It is about ¾ of a mile from the Crooked River by way of the Lamar Creek trail. The yurt is located at the end of a finger ridge, with spectacular views to the east, south and west. While exposed to the summer sun, there normally is a good breeze blowing through the area. The yurt is on the southern edge of the trail system, and one can connect with the Crooked River trail as well as the rest of the Idaho City Area Trail System. The yurt site is usually snow free early May to November.
