THE PORTNEUF RANGE HUT SYSTEM


For yurt reservations contact the Wilderness Rental Center (208) 282-2945

A Winter Treat . . .

Looking for a place to get away from the stress of city life? How about a snowshoe or ski trip into a yurt? There's no better place to sit back and relax and take in the silent beauty of an Idaho winter.

If you're not familar with a yurt, it is a beautiful, dome shaped structure with a plastic skylight for watching the stars at night. Inside the yurt are bunk beds, a wood stove and a coleman latern.

We have five of these cozy and warm structures located in the Portneuf Range just outside of Pocatello. They're for everyone: families with children can reach the easier yurts and backcountry skiers will find delightful powder skiing at the two yurts located high on the Portneuf Range Crest. The system is managed as a non-profit entity and has been featured in Outside Magazine and other outdoor periodicals.
