About the Yurt
The Utah Nordic Alliance (TUNA) has operated a yurt in the Uintah National Forest for over twenty years under a permit issued by the Kamas Ranger District. TUNA was the original permit in this national forest. The Forest Service has allows TUNA to keep the yurt up, all year round and on a permanent platform. Thus the yurt can be used year-round for such activities as hiking, camping, mountain biking, horse packing, skiing, etc.
Users must be members of TUNA and certified to use the Yurt. Due to COVID-19, it is not safe to hold certification classes this year. Those who were certified before may contact Peter Swisher: peter.swisher@utahnordic.org for more information.
