Great Basin National Park is an isolated park located in east-central Nevada just off of U.S. Highway 6 & 50 near the Utah border. It includes the former Lehman Caves National Monument.

The park is located approximately four hours driving time to Salt Lake City, Utah and five hours from Las Vegas, Nevada.

Ranging in elevation from 5,000 - 13,000 feet, there are deserts, playas, mountains, rock formations, fossils, springs, caves, creeks, and even a lone glacier. In Great Basin National Park and the neighboring valleys alone, there are 11 species of conifer trees, 73 species of mammals, 18 species of reptiles, 238 species of birds, 8 species of fish, and over 800 species of plants.
