About

Boundary Creek is the original 16 foot diameter yurt that has been relocated from the Bear Claw location. The yurt is equipped with bunks to accommodate at least 4 people, a wood burning stove with a good supply of fire wood, and a white gas cooking stove. There is no propane. This yurt is intended as a backcountry ski experience and requires the user to have the skills, conditioning, and equipment to get there. The yurt is located on Boundary Creek about 2 miles beyond Ridge Yurt and 6.5 miles from the Trail Head. Boundary Creek Yurt sits at an elevation of 9,550. The trail from the Ridge Yurt to the Boundary Creek Yurt is not maintained or groomed. The route is marked with blue diamond symbols. After new snowfall, visitors to this yurt need to be prepared to endure the rigors of breaking trail. The open slopes above the Boundary Creek Yurt ascend to a height just shy of 11,000 feet, providing excellent backcountry skiing and snowshoeing. Avalanche sense is the best kind of common sense in this area.
