Have you ever had the pleasure of staying the night in a yurt? These circular, tent-like dwellings are commonly used by Mongolian, Siberian, and Turkish nomads; however, they can also be found as lodging for those who wish to have a unique outdoor experience right here in Colorado.

As if the yurt itself isn’t reason enough to visit, the accommodations are just a hop, skip, and a jump away from such must-see Colorado attractions as the Black Canyon of the Gunnison.
