Two bunk beds sleep doubles on the bottom bunk and singles on top. Cots sleep an additional two people. Additional fees apply for more than 6 people in the yurt.

Sleeping bags, backpacks and snowshoes can be rented from TBG for an easy overnight get away into the wilderness for anyone visiting the area who wants to enjoy a fun outdoor adventure!
Outdoor Amenities
Step out your door and onto a freshly groomed cross-country ski track! The yurt is located at 6,500′ and is less than one mile from the Jedediah Smith Wilderness boundary adjacent to Grand Teton National Park. Backcountry skiers equipped with avalanche safety gear along with the skills and training to safely travel in avalanche terrain, will find abundant powder skiing opportunities above the yurt. This yurt sits at a lower elevation than our other yurts so will require more hiking time to access powder skiing. Ice climbing and rock climbing opportunities are available nearby. Bring your fat bike and spin the groomed trails, or snowshoe and explore the main, middle and north forks of Teton Canyon. The access to outdoor winter activities are endless!
The Teton Canyon Yurt can be accessed via snowmachine, however due to the popularity of this trailhead, we request that folks consider human power to access and enjoy the yurt.
