SLEEPING The open-layout yurt sleeps up to 5 guests: • Two guests on the padded lower bunk • One guest on the padded upper bunk • Two guests on the futon The bunks use padded sleeping mats rather than conventional mattresses.

After unloading, vehicles must be moved to one of two designated parking areas. Both require a short uphill walk. The path is natural mountain terrain and may be uneven, dusty, muddy, snowy, icy, or slippery depending on weather. The final approach is a narrow rock and dirt mountain road with steep sections. Apple Maps and Google Maps may route guests incorrectly, so detailed directions, GPS coordinates, parking instructions, and unloading guidance are provided before arrival.

National forest 26mi from Banks · 653 sites
You could say Boise National Forest is in the tri-forest area. It is surrounded on all sides by Payette, Salmon-Challis, and Sawtooth National Forests, it is situated conveniently close to both urban fun in Boise, and limitless wilderness adventures everywhere else. Alpine tundra is dotted with evergreen forest in the green rolling hills here, topped with snow, and anchored by sparkling valley waterways. The Payette River is great for rafting, while Banks Beach and Beehive Bend are just some of the prime access points on the forest’s 250 lakes and reservoirs (Arrowrock Reservoir has surprisingly primo salmon fishing for central Idaho). Hikers will find 500 trails, including some that lead to 360-panoramic views at fire lookouts. The ambitious should try 10,000-foot high Trinity Mountain, while more liesurely trekkers will get just as good a view at Silver Creek. As if that’s not all enough to keep you busy, there are also endless mountain biking trails, including a scenic route along Shafer Butte. You’ll have your hands full at this intersection of so many great parks!
