Great Basin National Park
At Great Basin National Park you can see a small glacier and visit the longest living plants on earth, bristlecone pines, some 5,000 years old. At the only national park completely contained within Nevada, you can take easy, moderate, and strenuous hikes, climb, fish, camp, and picnic.
Lehman Caves
Before Great Basin was designated as a national park, there was Lehman Caves National Monument, which is now part of Great Basin National Park. Absalom Lehman, who discovered the limestone cave with its intriguing formations, conducted private tours for hundreds of visitors in the 1880s. You can still tour the caves today.
