Why go there?

Great Basin National Park boasts a diverse range of landscapes, including rugged mountains, ancient bristlecone pine forests, and the captivating Lehman Caves.

Visitors can explore this unique ecosystem while stargazing under exceptionally clear night skies, thanks to its Dark Sky Park designation. With its rich biodiversity and cultural significance, Great Basin National Park offers a remarkable blend of natural wonders and historical heritage for all to enjoy and appreciate.
