Note on Operations:
By Mary Ann DeBoer, Spruce Hole Yurt
Huts and yurts in Colorado and southern Wyoming offer everything from the luxurious to rustic in backcountry, off-the grid living. A 2014 survey of 25 hut and yurt operators from the Colorado Hut and Yurt Alliance, highlights many creative solutions to the everyday problems of providing water, light, heat, sanitation and communication in remote locations. The survey represents 56 huts and 10 yurts that operate on either public or private lands.
