Trips
We are pleased that you have decided to visit
your national park! As guardians of your park, we want to ensure
that you and your students enjoy your visit and have a successful,
educational experience.
Currently, Great Basin National Park offers ranger-led
walks through Lehman Caves for school groups. Walks are 60 minutes
long for elementary and middle school groups. High school and
college groups have the option of a 90-minute walk.
Cave walks are limited to 25 people. If your group
is larger than 25, teachers and chaperones included, you will
need to schedule more than one walk. Please plan to have a minimum
of one chaperone/teacher per seven students.
In addition to the Lehman Caves guided walk, there
is a short film about the cave and a short slide show about the
park shown at the visitor center. A 1/4-mile self-guided nature
trail is also located at the visitor center. Watching the film
and slide show and walking the nature trail are a great way to
learn a little more about the park.
For those with more time and wanting to explore
beyond Lehman Caves, there are numerous hiking trails throughout
the park. Although we cannot offer guided hikes at this time,
talk with the Education Coordinator for suggestions on where to
go.
