About Rocky Ridge Yurt
Rocky Ridge Yurt is perched on the end of a finger ridge and provides a spectacular 180-degree view to the east, south, and west. When the yurt is snow-free, guests can drive with a high-clearance vehicle within a few hundred yards of the front door. During the winter months, Rocky Ridge Yurt is about a two mile ski or snowshoe from Whoop-Um-Up Park N’ Ski parking lot. The trails to access Rocky Ridge Yurt are not groomed.
Rocky Ridge yurt is on the southern end of the Idaho City Trail system and 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.
