Two furnished and stocked yurts. 360-degree mountainous views. Mountain biking and backcountry skiing paradise. Ultimate relaxation station.
The Coyote Yurts are a little known treasure within the Sawtooth National Forest. Built and maintained by Sun Valley Trekking, these yurts are equipped with everything you need for a weekend getaway during any season of the year. Adventurers who enjoy mountain biking and backcountry skiing will never forget the turns encountered from the Coyote Yurts and will surely be coming back again!
The yurts are located about 35 miles northwest of Sun Valley, Idaho and can only be reached by car during the summer months. High clearance vehicles are recommended for the journey to the end of Forest Service Road 168 and suggested yurt parking area. If you will be visiting the yurts in the winter time, it is best to check with Sun Valley Trekking as they provide a winter route and a guide if needed. Reservations for the yurts are required through SVT.
In addition to the main mountain biking and backcountry skiing attractions, Coyote Yurt adventurers can also enjoy trail hiking and horseback riding in the summer, and snowshoeing in the winter. Be sure to get up for the sunrise, too. Breathtaking views of the Boulder and Pioneer Mountains climax as soon as the sun starts to rise.
Yurt camping has all of the perks of being outdoors, minus the hassle of it all. Be sure to check out the Coyote Yurts and let me know below in the comments which season you went and which trails you shredded!

Hike to Norton Lakes
Starting at the Norton Lakes trailhead, travel up into the mountains through pine forest, with several small stream crossings (if you're going early in the summer, be prepared to wade). Although this trail packs on the elevation quickly, you're rewarded after just 2.1 miles with a view of beautiful Lower Norton Lake.While the lower lake is a satisfying destination in itself, be sure to go the e...
Mountain Bike the Griffin Butte Loop
Easily accessible from town, you can peddle right up to the trail. There is a small parking lot at the trailhead as well. This is one of those trails that are fantastic in either direction you choose to ride it. To jump right into the climbing uphill section and have a fun backend ride, hit it counterclockwise. This ride cuts the Adams Gulch Intermediate Loop in half. You can still get a to...
Hike to Baker Lake
From Baker Creek trailhead, head up the trail as it winds through pine forest and mountain meadows (if you time it right, this hike is ideal for seeing all kinds of wildflowers!). Some sections can be steep, but nothing small children shouldn't be able to handle. The lake itself is a good place to have lunch or a refreshing swim, and it's usually well-stocked with trout, too. Watch for mountain...
Hike to Prairie and Miner Lakes
The 7200' trailhead is suitable for any vehicle to arrival. In fact, this trail head may be the most suitable that I've seen in Idaho, with only a few miles on a gravel road.See this detailed Caltopo map for a better understanding of this route.This trail isn't an exact loop, but rather more of a "P" shaped lasso. You hike two and a quarter miles, gaining roughly 500 ft of elevation to a fork i...
Park at the Trail Creek trailhead 2.5 miles north of Sun Valley. Pedal north and cross a wooden bridge over Trail Creek. Climb onto the bench and bike straight across toward the burned trees. Turn left onto signed Corral Creek Trail #325. Nearly all of the 600 feet of climbing is done on the way out. Stop to catch your breath while admiring the views of the Pioneer Mountains. The trail termina...
Hike to Titus Lake
This 3-mile round trip hike starts at above 8,000 feet, just shy of Galena Summit. If you have not yet adjusted to the mile-high altitude of Ketchum, prepare to be fairly winded throughout this walk. Though only 1.5 miles to the lake, the trail is at times quite steep, so be prepared to climb. The altitude at the highest point is about 9,050 feet. Once at the lake, if it's hot enough, there's a...
Idaho is a picturesque state filled with beautiful scenery and warm, wonderful people. It's an ideal destination for family travelers, outdoor enthusiasts, adventure seekers, or those just looking for a relaxing getaway.
