Possibly the coolest thing I have ever seen done for people like us, who love the outdoors. I have not seen anyone else do anything close to this, for their love of the outdoors. It's good to know there still are some people who want to help out our parks, instead of the CRAP our P.M has pulled since he has taken office.

Discounting common showers and campfire, an trail improvements,
It's 350,000 per yurt. I think they aren't as frugal As this lady was.

Although awesome, I think that the money could have been better spent.

One other thing I'd like to note is that it doesn't look like her name went on anything. Now that's class. Contrast that to various politicians, and other "altruistic" philanthropists who want their name on all kinds of things that (including mountains/parks/etc) that they had absolutely nothing to do with.
