Hiking Na Pali Coast Line

Earth Explorers

​Sharrisa & Jessica Jo traveled to the Grand Canyon for amazing desert views, to Hawaii for beach hikes and waterfalls, and everywhere in between. Other friends and the occasional furry friend would join on these adventures.

Outdoor Entrepreneurs

2017

When land popped up around Panguitch, near Bryce Canyon National Park, Panguitch Lake, and other amazing experiences in nature, it seemed like a no-brainer to build a landing pad for exploring. They tried to build their ideal campground: guests bring minimal camping items like a sleeping bag, pillow, and flashlight, while UYurt provides the tent, stove, beds, toilet, and more.

Family Business

2024

Sharrisa's husband Steven has been around since the beginning helping build structures, add toilets, and operate the bulldozer in the picture above. In 2024, Steven and Sharrisa took on the business full-time. They hope you love your time with UYurt Adventure Rentals as much as their kids are learning to love the outdoors!

“The yurt is exactly as described, and it was pretty easy to find. It was a shady and secluded spot, excellent for getting away from civilization.”

“We had the most amazing adventure. Such a cool yurt. Way bigger than we were expecting.”

“Such a cool and funky place! It's the perfect blend of rustic and comfort and we were so happy to have comfy beds and a warm wood stove during the cold at night. Great location-- super nice for adventuring in Bryce Canyon!”
