Spruce Hole Yurt

Top choice in New Mexico


To experience a bit of wintery mountain magic, ski or snowshoe 2.5 miles to this deluxe backcountry yurt. You'll need all your own gear, sheets and pillowcase, and food, though beds (sleeps up to six people), kitchen supplies and a wood stove are provided. There's plenty of backcountry skiing (both Nordic and tele) near the yurt. Reserve a year in advance.
