WHAT IS A YURT?
A yurt is the traditional dwelling of Central Asia nomads. Made to resist extreme climates, this circular shape abode has five basic elements: lattice walls, roof beams, a roof ring, a door, and a felt and hide covering. Since the 13th century, yurts have been used by nomadic horse herders as portable homes.
The yurts in Hyde Memorial State Park are a modernized version of the traditional yurt. They are warmer than a tent and have insulated walls and roofs, and a propane heater to keep cozy on those cool fall and winter evenings. In the summer, the yurts are kept cool by opening the windows that provide cross ventilation. Yurts provide the ultimate camping experience, combining the comfort of a cabin and the intimacy of sleeping in the great outdoors-:-
