Teton Canyon Yurt is located in the summer-use campground in the most scenic and spectacular canyon on the western slope of the Tetons.  Look up from the yurt to enjoy the big mountain scenery that surrounds you!

This yurt has it all! Travel  on backcountry skis to seek deep powder turns or enjoy the groomed cross-country tracks.  Build snowmen with the kids or ski amazing powder. You can  even ski  right into Grand Teton National Park from this yurt!

Drop down from Grand Targhee Resort and spend the night in the yurt with friends and family, taking in the amazing scenery and good times with your group.

Climb 11,000 foot Table Mountain from this yurt for THE most spectacular views of the Tetons.  No other location compares for fun for the entire family!

 

The yurt is accessed via a four-mile, mostly flat, groomed Nordic track that is ideal for cross-country skiing, skate skiing, and snowshoeing. 

The Teton Canyon Yurt is for winter use only.  The yurt is taken down and dismantled every spring and built back up again in the fall.  

Dates of operation are December 20 through early April. Friends and family members of all ages will enjoy the amazingly beautiful vistas and snowy woodlands along the track to our Teton Canyon Yurt.  

Indoor Amenities

The yurt sleeps 4-6 people. It is a one-room structure that includes a kitchen zone and a sleeping zone. There is a table, chairs and a bench. Hangers and racks provide areas for wet clothing to dry.

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. There is a pellet stove for heat, which allows the yurt to stay warm and comfortable all night, decorative party  lights, and a two-burner propane stove for cooking. Snow is melted for water. An FS outhouse is nearby.

Household basics such as toilet paper, paper towels, and fuel for cooking, lighting, and heating are provided. Salt, pepper, soap, bleach, scrubbies and coffee filters are also provided. Kitchenware including cooking and eating utensils, cups, bowls, pots, pans, griddles, cutting boards, and more, are also provided. 

Overnight renters need to provide their own sleeping bags, food, drink, first aid and emergency supplies, and maps. All participants will need to sign an Acknowledgement of Risk waiver before trip departure. 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.
