Reviews
"This place is done up real nice for a smaller visitor center. Plenty of parking and has very friendly staff. The center has many great informative displays and many great maps of the area. It also has a movie auditorium showing the great basin. There is also a gift shop as well. So glad I stopped here."
"Great visitors center, staff were very knowledgeable about trails. They even had one ranger outside explaining how they take care of the native fish and bats. Great job. We then did the Scenic drive, easy just a few switchbacks. Heads up right now they are releasing tickets at 8:00 am. for the bat cave tours."
"Great park. Excellent dark sky. Fabulous hiking trails. Informative. Visitor center. And there is a diner too! Good for breakfast and lunch. Will go again."
"We arrived at a few minutes before 5PM. There was still plenty of daylight to see the park, thanks to DST, but the Visitor Center closed at 5. The restrooms have outside access, so they were still open, and a rack with the park map was also accessible from the outside. This Visitor Center is newer than the one on Lehman Caves Rd, and I peaked inside. There are lots of nice exhibits and the ranger was still helping late guests. A bus of some kind picks up people there, when they are finished in the park. The restrooms are modern and very clean. The parking lot is large and can accommodate both cars, and RV's."
"This was a bucket list NP and I specifically drove all across from CA for it. It is one the lesser visited NPs. It is most famous for the oldest trees on the planet- Bristlecone pines and a glacier. However, despite how much I wanted to love it, it was a bit underwhelming, as there isn't much ro see besides the caves, especially this year due to snow. Be aware that rangers said it will be all snowed down until August-September. That means all the trails are closed and are impossible to hike, unless you have snowshoes. All pines are at 10k ft and above, so you won't be able to see them until Fall if ever this year. The park itself is one road that leads all the way to the top, and caves. For caves make sure to book way in advance."
