Nestled in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains are three yurts available for the perfect off-grid experience.

One of the biggest perks to staying in here? These yurts are the perfect place to unplug from the digital world so you can enjoy a quiet getaway.

The yurts are roomy and can easily accommodate up to six guests. They have wooden sleeping platforms with foam mattresses so you don’t have to sleep on the ground.
