We were a little nervous when the lock wouldn't open but it did, I believe it had to be pushed up and then pulled; There has been small green propane canisters in the past for the lantern but there were not any that were full, so plan on taking in your own. A spatula for pancakes is also something you should bring. Last folks who stayed didn't put very many wood pieces inside to be dry and ready for starting the fire. Otherwise it was a great stay, hard hike for the youth, but great for them. Thank you!

Wonderful time in the winter. Would definitely bring some duct tape to fix the windows as they are ripping and let in cold air. Also bring lanterns because its pretty dark in the yurt.

My partner and I spent two days at the Limber Flag Yurt for New Years Eve. It was amazing! The yurt was well stocked with fuel: firewood for wood stove, butane for lantern, and propane for large cooking stove. There was a large pot for melting snow, a smaller pot for boiling water, and a cast iron skillet that we cooked NYE prime rib in. Despite the other reviews, the stove gave us no trouble and kept the yurt warm the whole time. No smoke inside at all and we kept it burning at full force the whole time (due to 8 degree temps outside). Our plan was to do some backcountry skiing, but coverage was not ideal. There was about 12 inches of fresh powder, but no base. On our way in, we skinned up from the E McKee trailhead, which led us up steep although direct route up the NW side of the mountain. This lent to a fun/dangerous/rocky/powdery ski back down on the way out. On our full middle day, we toured up Limber Flag to assess coverage. We decided against any runs down off the ridge, but there were a few fields that were fun to ski through. Overall we had a blast and would love to go back when there is a bit more snow!

Worst experience in my life. There was no access. The road up to the yurt was just one giant mud pit. I could not pass through even in a truck with 4 wheel drive. What a joke. Don't waist your time.

Great weekend at the Yurt. Lots of extra cooking utensils and some supplies in the hut.

The forest service staff has really stepped it up! I took some supplies to the office beforehand to stock the yurt, and they took most of it up there. The smoke had nowhere to go but inside the yurt, even while adjusting the flues for airflow.All in all, great place, great experience!

I love this yurt and have visited several times over the years. My last visit wasnt good because the new wood stove leaked smoke inside, but hopefully will be fixed soon.

Great time, good Snow. Sunny in between the storms! Broke trail in and out, luckily with good visibility . Some of the Trail markers, that were stakes in the ground, were buried under snow.The Deck had 2-3' of snow at the door (which opens in) and snow covered over the railings of the deck. Found a small pile of split wood on deck after shovel clearing.Had to dig 3' snow to get to top of main wood pile, after finding it with a probe. Decided to keep going and had 6-7' snow drifts to ground. Plenty of wood and plenty of snow burying it with no markers. Plenty of people 'marking their territory' next to or on the deck. No map of layout outside so ask support staff where the deck pile and main pile of wood is, outhouse is easy to spot at the backside of yurt. The little amount of information that's posted inside is helpful. Mattresses were comfy, most yurts that weve been to the mattresses are thin and need to double up to not feel the rails, didnt need that with the sturdy bunk beds of Limber Flag.Received answers to all questions, great information, and help from rangers and other government staff when contacted.Go with what the rangers/staff tell you is plowed for parking, unless you like to shovel out. Highly recommend 4X4 over AWD if a storm is in the forecast, helped others get unstuck.Left it better than found it.

This yurt is an annual trip for our family and it is a great destination. We always go in winter and snowshoe into the area. Limber Flag mountain top is a great day hike. It’s three miles in and two of those are uphill and can be difficult in winter. Always allow enough time to get in before dark.
@MatthewG245698 · Camped on Jan 5, 2023 at Campsite #1
The yurt is in great shape and stocked well. There were no small propane bottles for the lantern, which was a bit of a bummer. There is minimal cooking utensils or pots & pans (stock pot for melting snow and a cast iron skillet). The hike in is marked well. We came in after a couple weeks of steady snow and nobody had been up in a while it seemed. We broke trail the entire way and it was pretty tough. I've done it before with packed snow. The difference is amazing.

My family loved this experience. It’s was cold but the fire wood stove was amazing. Many people who have used the Yurt in the past have left behind extra supplies to help out. There is a mouse problem but the beds keep you off the ground so it’s not a bit deal they just make noise at night.

Great stay. Absolutely gorgeous setting.
@WilliamJ242827 · Camped on Mar 20, 2022 at Campsite #1
Nice yurt. Visited in March - the ski in trail was well marked and very followable if you pay attention. The wood burning stove did not put out a lot of heat, so the yurt sleeps a bit chilly.
@ScottS960 · Camped on Jan 14, 2022 at Campsite #1
Great experience. Propane dual burner stove working great. Double bunk beds are roomy enough for 8. Wood supplies available. Others or FS left disinfectant wipes, dish soap, toilet paper, matches, cast iron pan, stockpot (great for melting snow for water), propane lantern, and plastic bin for washing dishes. Splitting maul, hand ax, shovel, and broom are also there. Every trip the previous visitors have left plenty of split wood and kindling. We always take supplies and leave for the next crew. Chop extra wood and kindling for the next group because they maybe arriving later than expected and it’s cold at night. Expect 2+ hour slog into the yurt. 2/3 rds of the route in is uphill (900ish feet vert).
Beautiful sunrise and sunsets. Take time to hike up to Limber Flag hill in down time.

the place is amazing, you have a beautiful view, the yurt has everything ypou need to have a good time. The only big problem is that groups of people riding in four-wheelers and raizers was drinking alcohol they stole a folding chair. They used the bathroom and left it dirty and it's only supposed to be for the use of those who rented the place. as they were aolcoholized they kept shouting and doing excess wich is uncomfortable.therefore I had to leave two days before the scheduled.

We had a great time and can't wait to come back during non-COVID times with friends! Even though they seem to have cut down on kitchen supplies, you do NOT need to bring any extra fuel or cookware besides cutlery and bowls/plates... we were unsure what we would be working with so we definitely overpacked. There are also shovels and lots of firewood. You should bring extra fire starter material, though.

Second time, yurt was lovely with beautiful beautiful views. Beds are new and very comfortable. Apparently they took out almost all of the cookware because of COVID, so while we were expecting what was in the pictures, we had to use one pot for all of our cooking and snow melting. This information wasn't in the email.

Yurt good. Yurt warm.

We enjoyed our winter yurt trip. The 3 miles in and out were quite strenuous but the overall experience at the yurt was great. The views were gorgeous and the yurt was well equipped and spacious. We can't wait to come back with a few more friends maybe in the summer time!
