Great Basin is Nevada’s only national park, providing visitors with some of the state’s most beautiful sites—both above and below the surface. It’s an offbeat, adventurous destination for skiing and snowshoeing during the winter, but the warmer months are slightly more popular. Aside from the dozens of outdoor activities (including fishing, camping, and backpacking), the guided tours of the Lehman Caves are perhaps the park’s main draw.
