October 4, 2007 – More than 50 years ago, Alan Bair’s father, Robert Bair, was working as a park ranger naturalist, standing in front of Old Faithful and explaining the natural wonder to Yellowstone National Park visitors.

Now Alan has a presence of his own at one of America’s most popular national parks. His innovative company, Pacific Yurts, was awarded the contract to supply three 30-foot yurts. The yurts have been installed near the Old Faithful site, where they are used for various purposes that may include warming huts for skiers and winter sports enthusiasts and in the summer for bicycle rentals and interpretive presentations. According to the elder Bair who has fond memories of his time at the park, “I believe Pacific Yurts will be a great addition, they are attractive, low environmental impact and because of their color scheme and low profile will blend nicely with the natural surroundings”.

Based in Cottage Grove, Oregon, Pacific Yurts was the first yurt manufacturing company to adapt the ancient structure for modern uses. In the nearly 30 years since Bair founded his company, Pacific Yurts has maintained its status as the world’s leading yurt manufacturing company by continuously implementing technical and structural advancements, adding innovative options and remaining committed to unrivaled customer service.

Today, Pacific Yurts can be found on nearly every continent in a diverse array of personal, business and government settings. Because of their high quality, durability and comfort they have become popular in winter recreation areas for warming huts, ski rentals, and year round as resort, campground and vacation lodging.

In state and private parks and recreation areas across the country, Pacific Yurts has been able to significantly increase revenue by generating greater visitor use and enjoyment. For example, up and down Oregon’s Coast, Pacific Yurts provides cozy year-round accommodations that attract and protect visitors in all manner of weather.

Certainly, durability was one of the characteristics Yellowstone National Park personnel were looking for, and the Pacific Yurts 30-footers, the largest of the company’s product line, will meet that requirement with ease.

Pacific Yurts are engineered to be the strongest in the industry and that, along with their commitment to quality, has earned the company a reputation as the preferred provider for many agencies.

Beyond quality and expertise, Pacific Yurts is renowned for its service and strives with each customer to build long-term relationships that ensure satisfaction long after the original sale.
