Backcountry Yurt

Rock Springs Yurt at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort
For an unforgettable mountain experience, spend a night slopeside at the rustic Rock Springs Yurt. Share the memory with your closest friends and family, led by a knowledgeable guide. The overnight adventure includes a private tour to the yurt's secluded backcountry site in the Bridger Teton National Forest and a fully-outfitted stay, from the hot drinks greeting you upon arrival to the gourmet meals prepared by the yurtmeister and the cozy bunks guaranteeing a sound night's sleep.

The yurt, located at the base of Rock Springs Canyon, is accessible from the Rock Springs backcountry gates, or the South Hoback. Guests may enjoy Rock Springs' solitude even without staying the night: a gourmet lunch can be added to a guided backcountry tour, or an après-ski event can cap a long day of skiing or snowboarding.
