How much a night and who do you rent from? Utah State Parks or some 3rd party vendor?

Looks like a really great idea for getting away from it all in comfort. Too bad about the smoke. That flower out front is a Cleome and is a favorite of mine. They self seed year after year. It looks like it was doing really well for what appears to be pretty dry conditions.

Looks fabulous. Once you know what to bring, AKA additional comforts, wonderful. I've overnighted in cabins from another era where you need to keep the stove fed to stay warm. Unforgettable experiences. And the quiet...


I was surprised how much my wife liked the isolation. Of course, the dark sky night is amazing.

My wife is not a camper, but when she saw the location of the yurts that the Utah state parks have for rent near Dead Horse Point, she was sold. There is an extended wait time because there are very few yurts to rent.

Why do this? These yurts are in the middle of a dark sky area. At night there is no intrusive light. The stars usually are crystal clear. Our visit, however, was in the middle of the smoke. The Milky Way was large and overhead, but not as sharp as usual.

There is no water and your bring your own bedding. The rest rooms, with running water and flush toilets, were a short walk away.

The true test - she wants to go back.

Thanks for sharing this series, Mike. I’m betting that the Google people are wondering why there are so many “yurt” searches today.😊


For sure. I am one of them. Thanks Mike, this will be on top of my bucket list.
