Reservation and Cancellation Policy
Reservations require full payment of fees. No Refunds are available. If it becomes impossible for a party to use the yurt at their reserved time, credit will be given for a future use in that season. However, the canceling party must notify the Wilderness Rental Center at least three days prior to their reservation and credit will be allowed only once. Those who cance within thre days of their reservation will forfeit their deposit. Remember only one change is allowed and credit must be used that season.
 
Check In/Check Out Policy
Reservations begin 2:30 pm the day the yurt is reserved and extend to 2:30 pm the next day. Bloomington Canyon can be rented for day use only if the yurt has not been reserved for night before or after the intended day use. Cost $10.00
 
Yurt Capacity
The 16' yurts hold 5-6 people comfortably. The 20' yurts will hold 6-8 people comfortably.
 
Condition of Yurts
Because of the possibility of extreme weather, vandalism, and other problems, we can not guarantee the condition of the yurts and their contents. Unusually large snow falls can collase part or all of the yurt, and freezing and thawing creates havoc with the Coleman stoves. You may also need to collect and split additional wood.
 
Be Prepared. Treat the Yurt Tours With Great Respect.
Besides the yurt itself, there are plenty of other problems that you and your party can encounter in the harsh and unforgiving winter environment. Before going on a yurt tour, discuss potential problems with your party and make a careful choice whether you are willing to assume the risks. Be well prepared.
 
Location of Yurts
Before using any of the yurts, you or members of your party should take at least one advance day trip to the yurt site. If you are uncertain of your route finding skills, go with an organized group.
 
Winter travel and use of Yurts is dangerous. Yurt use is done at your own risk.
