When is the best time to visit Great Basin National Park?

I’ve lived in Las Vegas for years, but I’ve never really explored outside of the city. A buddy of mine said that Great Basin National Park is worth the visit, so I’m going to plan a trip. What’s the best time to visit Great Basin National Park?

Great Basin National Park is a hidden gem in
Nevada
. If you want to experience marble caves and beautiful scenery, the best time to visit Great Basin National Park is in the fall.
The crowds thin out and the temperatures cool in the fall, which makes for a pleasant visit. But be sure to also avoid the harsh winter weather that hits the area in late October or early November.
If you decide to plan your trip for the fall, make sure to add a few of these suggestions to your itinerary:
  • Take either a 60- or 90-minute tour of the spectacular Lehman Caves.
  • Take a slow, scenic drive along the 12-mile Wheeler Peak Scenic Byway.
  • Hike the 2.7-mile Alpine Lakes Loop Trail, which takes you 9,800 feet above sea level.
  • Go stargazing to see five planets and the Andromeda Galaxy with the naked eye.
  • Take a train ride.
Because Great Basin is in a relatively remote area, adding
towing and labor coverage
or roadside assistance to your car insurance policy is a smart move. Use the
