always be aware!
​
The yurts are remote backcountry shelters. YOU ARE ALONE. Inform someone at home of your whereabouts in the event of an emergency. There is little chance of getting messages to you. If there is an emergency have them contact the Jackson County Sheriff or the Colorado State Forest State Park Rangers at 970-723-8366. Avalanches are around every corner in the State Park. Know your limits, be informed, and don't become a statistic!
Please take the time to look at our suggested equipment lists and Rules & Regulations and Waiver of Liability:
