Winter can be rugged in the national forests of Oregon. With roads and trails snowed in, getting into and through the woods is no easy feat, and once you’ve settled in, there’s a good chance the weather will keep you indoors for the majority of your trip.

But for a lot of Oregonians, that’s exactly the appeal. What better way to get away from the hustle and drizzle of winter in civilization than by trekking out on snowshoes or skis to a quiet, secluded cabin in the woods? Better yet, Oregon offers yurts, lookouts and guard stations too, all open throughout the season at state parks and on national forest land.

They’re perfect places to watch the snow fall on creaking conifers, or listen to the ocean tumble and roar. And on that rare, clear day, when the scenic vistas emerge from the clouds, you’ll remember why you schlepped all those miles into the Oregon wilds — for a glimpse at true winter beauty.

Beverly Beach State Campground yurt

Beverly Beach State Campground offers several yurts that can be rented as a change of pace from tent camping. The yurts feature a bunkbed that sleeps 3 and a futon that folds to a full size bed, electricity, and a space heater. The yurts were built in tent camping sites with a picnic table and fire pit.THE OREGONIAN
