There are five backcountry yurts 1 to 2.7 miles from the trailhead, plus a handful of cabins and yurts that you don't need to hike to. Note that the yurts are very basic – you'll only have mattresses, a woodstove and a table, but it's a great way to spend the night in the winter wilderness. Large yurts sleep up to eight.
