Kletting ADA Yurt: Accessible Yurt Stay in the Uinta Mountains

Read the full experience

Perched on a quiet slope below Moffit Peak in the Uinta Mountains, the Kletting ADA Yurt at Brora Yurts offers an accessible, modern take on mountain camping. Designed to broaden who can experience high-country solitude, the Kletting unit pairs panoramic alpine ridgelines with practical features: ramps and hand railings, lower bunk beds, an ADA-accessible restroom, solar electric, and a propane fireplace and cookstove for reliable heat and meals. That combination lets guests trade wood-splitting for sunset watching without sacrificing a backcountry feel. The yurt sleeps small groups comfortably for one- to seven-night stays and runs on simple systems tuned to a mountain rhythm: solar-powered electricity for lights and outlets, thermostat-controlled propane heat, and a propane cookstove that removes the need for a wood stove. These are not primitive lean-tos; they’re a bridge between car-camping comfort and the solitude of Uinta alpine basins. Views toward Moffit Peak frame morning coffee and evening constellations, while the yurt’s accessibility features make those windows available to campers with mobility needs. Reservation policies reflect that mission. ADA guests receive a priority reservation window from October 1st to October 24th; reservations in that window must be made by emailing [email protected] or [email protected]. After that window, the last full weekend of each month is reserved for ADA guests. BRORA Membership is required for all users—memberships cost $20 and follow the schedule listed by the operator. Check-in is at 2:00 PM and check-out at 12:00 PM. On the ground, expect typical Uinta terrain: high meadows, stands of aspen and subalpine conifers, and glacially carved basins that collect alpine lakes. Wildlife sightings might include mule deer and a variety of songbirds; bring binoculars and patience. The Kletting yurt is especially useful for multi-day hiking bases, accessible family escapes, and anyone who wants a low-barrier way into high country without sacrificing creature comforts. Practicalities matter: the yurt’s solar and propane systems mean guests should be efficient with power and bring their own cooking provisions. BRORA membership and parking logistics are handled by the reservation office; business hours are listed for planning calls and questions. Whether you arrive for a single night under stars or a week tracing ridgelines, the Kletting ADA Yurt translates the elemental character of the Uinta Mountains into a welcoming, usable, and notably accessible mountain stay. Before you head up, note that guests call (307)789-1770 with their reservation number to receive the door lock code. EPRD maintains yurt reservation hours Monday–Thursday 8:00 AM–5:00 PM and Friday 8:00 AM–12:00 PM, so plan to finalize details during business hours. The operator’s ADA priority window and monthly blocked weekends make advanced planning essential—especially in shoulder seasons. Pack layered clothing, reserve a BRORA Membership, and expect a clean, straightforward gateway into Uinta high country. Arrive prepared; leave respectfully.
