Makoshika State Park Yurt Project - Environmental Assessment
Mar 2, 2021 4:59 PM
Currently, there is only one non-traditional camping option in the park, and none above the switchback. This yurt will provide an alternative option for visitors that want to stay in the park but may want a few more amenities than traditional campsites offer. This is also a great option for people that do not have access to their own camping gear. This new camping opportunity will help to diversify the campers in the park. The yurt and its furnishings will be a great alternative for those that do not have the ability or the gear to sleep on the ground in a tent. By installing the yurt on an existing campsite, there will be an increase in revenue for that site. A 30 ft trail will connect the parking lot and latrines to the yurt site, increasing ease of use for visitors. Gravel will be added to the existing road to deter erosion as more vehicle traffic is expected. Additionally, a gate will be added to the entrance road in order to give visitors more privacy.
