10. Awesome yurt retreat
If you are looking to experience a more traditional way of life, then this 24 ft (7.3 meters) in diameter yurt might be your ideal base. It can comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests and is perfect for getting ‘hands on’ with nature. The wood burning stove will keep you warm in the winter months and you’ll need to be ready to prepare your own firewood if you are staying during spring. There is a small kitchenette that is equipped with cooking equipment and utensils. There is also an outdoor pit toilet and bucket-shower, which can be heated. It is worth noting that although just a short walk from the country road, during the winter months you will need an all-wheel drive vehicle to ensure that you don’t get stuck! This yurt is a 2.5-hour drive from Goblin Valley State Park.
