Getting to Great Basin National Park

Driving to Great Basin

With the exception of the tiny town of Baker, Great Basin is far from civilization. US-50, nicknamed “America’s Loneliest Road” for good reason, runs east and west through Nevada. NV-487 leads south five miles from US-50 to the town of Baker and the park entrance.

If you’d like to plot directions from your location use the interactive map below. The marker shows the location of the Lehman Caves Visitor Center in Great Basin.
