Glamping Under One of the Darkest Skies in America.

Yurts, tipis and a dome on the red rock outside Capitol Reef National Park, near Torrey, Utah. Days in the canyons. Nights under more stars than you knew were there.

Our story

We are two young couples

Morgan Kotter, Haley Kotter, Aaron Andrew, and Stephanie Andrew split our time between building software, raising families, and chasing the kind of desert trips that leave you feeling different when you go home. We did not break ground on empty land. This place already existed: a pinyon pine grove at 7,000 feet, minutes from Capitol Reef National Park and a certified International Dark Sky Park. Most of what it needed was subtraction: fewer things standing between a guest and what is overhead.

What is above it

Dark Sky Park

Capitol Reef is certified International Dark Sky Park; Torrey keeps its lights down.

  • Neighboring town is Dark Sky Community

  • Nothing competes with the quiet

High desert setting

At 7,000 feet in pinyon pine, the air is thin and dry.

  • Minutes from Capitol Reef National Park

  • Far enough out for silence

  • Trail and red rock out the door
