Great Basin NP in winter


If you've never been to Great Basin National Park just east of Ely, Nevada on the Utah border, try taking a winter trip to the park. Expect snow when you get up into the higher parks of the park, but all visitor center operations have moved to low territory at the Lehman Caves Visitor Center at park headquarters for the winter. The visitor center will be open every day through thewinter except for Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day.
Superintendent Andy Ferguson invites visitors to enjoy the special opportunities the change of season brings to Great Basin National Park.


Cave tours will continue, also through the winter.

The park maintains the entrance road to the Lehman Cave Visitor Center; the Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive to Upper Lehman Creek Campground; and the road into Lower Lehman Creek Campground year round.

Lower Lehman Creek Campground, with 11 sites is open your round on a first come first serve basis.

Road and trail conditions are posted at the park's website. Read more here.
