Hike up was brutal!! It was freezing cold and 5 ft of snow, no trail other than the blue diamonds that marked the trail. Thought it might take 3 hours but it took 5 with snow shoes and cross country ski's. Got lost about 3 times. Once we actually got to the yurt it was really cool. Plenty of fire wood, working stove, some utensils and cleaning supplies. Would recommend packing light and starting the hike early to avoid hiking in the dark. Really great views from the yurt and would recommend.
