Spring, Summer, Fall
The Elkhorn yurt is conveniently located for use by hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians who want a remote ride‐in or walk‐in experience. It is about a mile by foot, bike, or horse from any drivable road. Over 50 miles of old roads and single‐track trails can be accessed from this yurt, which is located about halfway around the Elkhorn loop trail. Its high elevation of 6,400 feet offers spectacular views to the north, east, and south. In the evening, a warm orange alpenglow reflects off Wolf, Goat, and Steele Mountains to the east. This is the place to “get away from it all” and watch the wildlife. Elk, deer, bear, and mountain lion are often seen nearby. As the snow melts, hundreds of mushrooms, including the tasty Morel, can be found growing in the dense woods and nearby areas. The yurt site is usually snow free early May to early November.
