Beulah Vista Yurt

About

Beulah Vista Yurt is the newest and largest yurt in the Bear River Outdoor Recreation Alliance (BRORA) system, located on the north slope of the Uinta Mountains in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The 24-foot diameter yurt accommodates up to 12 guests and sits at approximately 8,860 feet elevation, accessible via a 2.75-mile non-motorized trail with 474 feet of elevation gain from the East Fork trailhead. On clear days, the yurt offers stunning views of Mount Beulah from the front door. The yurt is equipped for backcountry comfort with bunk beds (no bedding provided), a wood-burning stove for heat with a stocked woodshed and axes, a propane cooking stove with fuel included, kitchen utensils and cookware, a dining table and chairs, and a hard-wired gas lantern. An outhouse is available nearby. There is no electricity or potable water; guests must pack in their own drinking water or filter from nearby sources. Access varies by season: cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and fat biking in winter; hiking, biking, or ATV in summer. Snowmobiles are not permitted on the trail. The yurt operates year-round with winter reservations (December through April) opening on the last Monday of October and summer reservations opening in late April. BRORA membership ($20) is required in addition to the nightly rental fee.
