Alt Text Map of Great Basin National Park in Nevada. The park is shaded in light green with the surrounding terrain in beige. Highways are represented by red lines, and the Nevada-Utah border is denoted by a white line. Extended Description Great Basin National Park lies up the center of the map, and the Great Basin Visitor Center, which has information, is to the east. Near the visitor center are the Great Basin National Heritage Area Headquarters and the town of Baker, which has a campground, lodging, restaurant, and gas station. The town sits at an elevation of 5,317 feet (1,621 meters). The Baker Archeological Site (BLM) is north of town, and to the northeast The Border Inn sits at the Nevada-Utah border on the joint US Route 6 and 50, and has lodging, a campground, pay telephone, restaurant, and ATM. The park is roughly rectangular with deep stepped sides, especially along the eastern edge. The Snake Range spans the height of the park, but there are other canyons, ridges, and basins interspersed throughout. State Route 488 branches off of State Route 487 in Baker and heads west to enter the park about one-third of the way down the park’s eastern boundary. The road ends at the Lehman Caves Visitor Center, which is at an elevation of 6,825 feet (2,080 meters) and has a restaurant, self-guiding trails, and information. The Lehman Caves are nearby, as is an RV sanitary station and a site with a picnic area, amphitheater, and stargazing. Two roads branch from State Route 488 near the caves. One unpaved road travels south to Grey Cliffs at an elevation of 7,115 feet (2,169 meters) and which has a campground; and Baker Creek at 7,530 feet (2,295 meters), also with a campground. Trails extend like fingers from the end of this road to follow creeks and canyons that run through the area. The road headed north from near the Lehman Caves, labeled as Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive, winds west to pass Lower Lehman Creek, which is at an elevation of 7,300 feet (2,225 meters) and has a campground; Upper Lehman Creek at 7,752 feet (2,362 meters), which has a picnic area and campground; and Mather Overlook. The drive continues past the Wheeler Peak Overlook and a parking area before ending at an area designated as Wheeler Peak, with an elevation of 9,886 feet (3,013 meters) and where there is more parking and a campground. Red text along this road reads, “Travel closed to single vehicles or trailers over 24 feet in length on Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive past Upper Lehman Campground.” Black text along the road also notes, “Road may be closed by snow.” To the west and southwest of Wheeler Peak, trails wind into a purple-colored bubble representing an area where no camping or fires are permitted. There are several self-guiding trails in this area, as well as Brown Lake, Teresa Lake, and Stella Lake. Brown Lake sits within the Bristlecone Pine Grove. One trail heads south to a moraine and rock glacier, and another west and then south to reach the summit of Wheeler Peak, which has an elevation of 13,063 feet (3,982 meters). Back in Baker, State Highway 487 travels south to Garrison in Utah. A note indicates that there are no facilities in Garrison, and the town sits at an elevation of 5,273 feet (1,608 meters). From Garrison, the unpaved Snake Creek Road runs west into the middle of the park where it ends at Shoshone near Dead Lake. Shoshone has an elevation of 8,250 feet (2,515 meters). There are seven primitive campgrounds along Snake Creek Road. Lexington Arch is at the southernmost end of the park within Arch Canyon with a note reading, “No camping / no fires.” Below this, outside the southern park boundary, is a wilderness area labeled Highland Ridge Wilderness Area Bureau of Land Management (BLM) that extends up to South Forn Lexington Creek to the east and just south of Lincoln Canyon to the west. Legend A legend in the upper right corner of the map reads as follows: Green for Bristlecone Pine Area, Purple for No camping area/no fires, Gray line for Unpaved road, Red line with a black semicircle for Overlook, Black thick dashed line for Trail, Black thin dashed line for Primitive trail (route-finding difficult), and White line encased with black dashes for High-clearance 4-wheel-drive vehicle only. To the right of the legend, three columns of symbols represent Information, Picnic area, Self-guiding trail, RV sanitary station, Campground, Parking, Restaurant, Lodging, Pay telephone, Fishing, ATM, Gas station, Amphitheater, Stargazing, and Primitive campsite. Below a scale measures distances of 2 and 4 kilometers and 2 and 4 miles.
