The Utah Nordic Alliance (TUNA) has operated a yurt in the Uinta National Forest for over twenty years under a permit issued by the Kamas Ranger District. TUNA was the original permittee in this national forest. The Forest Service has allowed TUNA to keep the yurt up, all year round and on a permanent platform. Thus, the yurt can be used year-round for such activities as hiking, camping, mountain biking, horse packing, skiing, etc.

The original TUNA yurt was located in the North Fork. In 1999 the yurt was moved to its current location along the Norway Flats road, approximately 11 miles north out of Kamas on the Mirror Lake Highway. The yurt overlooks a spectacular view of Boulder Creek with its beaver ponds, summer trails and excellent ski slopes (slopes range in the 30-35 degree range). A wonderful place to spend time ski touring, turning, adventuring and enjoying the backcountry. The yurt is regularly used by families with children.

The TUNA yurt is 18 feet in diameter with a covered deck/storage area. It can comfortably sleep 8 (the maximum size party allowed). It is equipped with 8 bunks, a wood stove and a supply of cut and split wood, a propane cooking stove and lamps, and cooking equipment (pots and utensils). There is a year-round spring 100 feet from the yurt.
