The Bothy Wagon, named after the Scottish remote shelters, is a mobile hut that shifts with the seasons. During the winter months, depending on the snow conditions it can be found within close proximity to the Abajo Mountains and their abundance of backcountry skiing, snowshoeing, and other winter adventure terrain.
A little more than the traditional simple shelter, our Bothy Wagon comes equipped with many of your basic needs.
The bothy is a converted camp trailer which has been renovated with a ski hut in mind. The bothy features a wood burning stove, two single burner butane camp chefs, wash basin, cups, bowls, plates, utensils, basic pots/pans, and cooking spatulas. Additionally, there are a total of four, two-inch thick pads for sleeping.
The Bothy Wagon comfortably sleeps 4 adults.
Winter (~November-March)
The Bothy Wagon is placed just below Abajo Peak at 10,300 feet in elevation. This placement is ideal for backcountry skiing access. The views are unparalleled, including the Colorado Plateau, Monument Valley, Cedar Mesa, and more.

Spring, Summer & Fall (~April-October)
During the Spring, Summer, and Fall months the Tiny Home can be found at the Kigalia Campground just on the boarder of the Bears Ears National Monument. This placement is in partnership with the Manti-La Sal National Forest.
Kigalia Campground, around 8,000 feet in elevation, is located in Elk Ridge, neighboring the Bears Ears National Monument, and by Kigalia Canyon Trail one of the access points to Dark Canyon. Kigalia, or Kaa’yelii, was a Navajo who lived and herded sheep in the area in the late 1800’s. This site provides great access for those looking to do a through bikepacking trip from the Abajos to Cedar Mesa. Additionally, this is a great location for those looking for a secluded basecamp for exploration throughout the area.
In the transition times (early-Spring, mid-fall) when the Tiny Home is being shifted to/from its Winter season location it can be found in Montezuma Canyon just 30 minutes south of Monticello, Utah. The canyon walls are sandstone cliffs, and if you have a good eye you can spot moki steps and cliff dwellings tucked away in the canyon walls. The canyon is a gravel road that starts a few miles south of Monticello and continues to Montezuma Creek, with access points to Blanding. This is a great base for those looking to escape the spring and fall frosts, and explore a taste for what the desert has to offer.
