They sat in folding chairs overlooking the rim, books in hand and a truck-camping site set up behind them.Pass the days in a chair on the yurt deck. There are three Gooseberry Mesa Yurts.
Now back at my yurt, one of three for rent here, I watched shadows and light move across Zion's walls. Bruise-colored clouds added a tinge of drama to the early evening sky as I pondered naturalist writer Terry Tempest Williams' premise that wilderness is a human necessity.in bright white, which contrasted sharply with the red dirt of the foothills. Two jays squawked in the juniper tree, then flitted away.
The yurts sleeps four to five people comfortably, with the wood stove providing all the heat you may need. which can be accessed a couple of hundred feet from the steps of the deck. Without a clock dictating my every step, I was free to meander, taking in views of the desert floor and the snowy mountains. When I returned to the yurt, I settled in for a day of leisure and reading.
