Lily Lake Yurt

About

The Lily Lake Yurt is a wintertime backcountry rental facility located in Summit County within the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest at 8,940 feet elevation. Managed by the Bear River Outdoor Recreation Alliance (BRORA), a nonprofit organization based in Evanston, Wyoming, the yurt is part of a five-yurt system in the Lily Lake Touring Area. The yurt is accessible via a 3-mile approach trail with 554 feet of elevation gain. Unlike some other yurts in the system, the Lily Lake Yurt sits outside the non-motorized area, making it a suitable destination for snowmobile-assisted trips in addition to traditional ski or snowshoe access. BRORA maintains groomed ski trails in the area on a weekly basis and after large storms. The yurt accommodates up to 8 people and comes fully equipped with bunk beds, a wood stove for heating, a propane stove for cooking, propane, kitchen utensils, and firewood. Visitors must bring their own sleeping bags, food, water, and headlamps. Nightly rental rates range from $50 to $75. Reservations are handled through the Evanston Recreation Center and require a minimum of 7 days advance notice.
