Located about 90 minutes outside of Boise via Highway 21 and Idaho City, Idaho Wilderness Yurts is not your average adventure.  During the snowy season Crooked River Road closes to automobile traffic and the yurts can be accessed via snowshoeing, skiing, and snowmobiling.  From the Whoop-Um-Up Park N’ Ski parking lot, guests travel an easy 3.3 miles on an intermittently-groomed trail to the yurts. The route starts at the entrance of the parking lot and is marked until you reach the closed road, where you head east for the last stretch of your journey, soon spotting the yurts ahead.
