The Fawn Lakes yurt is the highest and most remote of all our yurts. Located high in the cirque at the head of Ruby Creek, this yurt offers some of the Hinsdale Haute Route's best back country skiing.
The terrain varies from gladed trees to a pristine corniced basin. Fawn Lakes is truly one of the finest huts in Colorado.
Two routes ascend to the Fawn Lakes yurt. From the Colorado Trail yurt the route is about 4 miles and around 1000' of elevation gain. The second is from Pearl Lakes and is about 6 miles with 1800' of elevation gain. Both routes to Fawn Lakes have been rated as Intermediate / Advanced and avalanche danger is minimal to moderate
The Fawn Lakes Yurt sleeps 6 people.
