At Colorado Yurt Company, we have a family of employees who take great pride and care to craft every yurt, tipi and canvas wall tent that leaves our shop. Our story began back in 1976 when owners Dan and Emma Kigar made their first tipi and called it home. They set their tipi on a mountainside and watched the stars pass and the seasons change. It wasn't long before some of their friends wanted the same experience and the adventure called Earthworks Tipis began. Living at 9,000 feet in harsh Colorado winters in a tipi gave them the first-hand experience they needed to design and manufacture fabric structures that withstand extreme climate conditions while leaving a light footprint environmentally!Today, the enterprise has evolved into Colorado Yurt Company still making quality tipis but also adding modern engineered yurts and rugged canvas wall tents to the mix. The tiny workshop is now a small campus of production facilities and display yurts, tipis and tents located at the base of the Rocky Mountains in Montrose, Colorado. The two back-to-the-land entrepreneurs grew into a group of over forty talented craftsmen and craftswomen who produce tipis, tents and yurts known and respected worldwide with a solid reputation for quality and personable service that is sometimes difficult to find in today's fast-paced world.
