Originally and traditionally used by nomads in Turkey, Siberia, and Mongolia, yurts are collapsible circular tent-like structures that have gained popularity as camping stays. Today, yurts are a great way to experience nature in its truest form and idolize the spirit of roughing it out combined with the fun of it all. And what better a place to experience nature than in the wonderland that is Colorado - with its snow-covered peaks, alpine lakes, tree-covered valleys, and rolling, grassy, verdant plains. So make your outdoorsy trip to the Centennial State special and check out the top yurts in Colorado, USA.
1. Luxurious yurt with internet and a hot tub (from USD 235)

There’s an air conditioning and heating system, so you can keep the temperature to your liking and high-speed internet for your entertainment.
