Eagle River Yurt

Monday, April 1, 2013
Last weekend we accompanied Katie and Hunter out to the Eagle River yurt for a night. We got some beautiful mountain views in the waning sunlight and during sunrise the next morning.

By the way, do you know what a yurt is? If not, here's the Wikipedia definition:
yurt is a portable, bent dwelling structure. The structure comprises a crown or compression wheel usually steam bent, supported by roof ribs which are bent down at the end where they meet the lattice wall. The top of the wall is prevented from spreading by means of a tension band which opposes the force of the roof ribs. The structure is usually covered by layers of fabric and sheep's wool felt for insulation and weatherproofing.
