Backpack on the Baker/Johnson Lake Loop
Baker, Nevada

/ 3300 ft gain
Check out a quieter side of Great Basin National Park by spending a night camped at Baker Lake. There are several opportunities to pitch your tent along the way, or you can choose a spot right on the shores of the lake. On the weekend we were there, there was only one other party spending the night. It's quiet and secluded, and the view is gorgeous in the morning!

Hike to Baker Peak, Great Basin National Park
Baker, Nevada
15 mi
/ 4000 ft gain
Clustered in arguably Nevada's highest mountain group, Baker Peak is the state 4th highest peak, right behind the neighboring Jeff Davis and Wheeler Peaks. Because Baker is slightly overshadowed by its neighbors, it sees very little traffic. Baker Peak is rugged, wild, and requires a long approach. For determined hikers and peak baggers, there is no better hike to see all of what Great Basin Na...

Wheeler Peak via Upper Lehman Creek
Baker, Nevada
15.27 mi
/ 5177 ft gain
Not a feat for the faint of heart. You have to want this one. Especially if you are dealing with intermittent patches of snow. The Upper Lehman Creek Trail, the Wheeler Peak Trail, and the summit are not overly challenging when done on their own, but the sum of it's parts makes this combination trek one for the books.
Before getting along, its worth noting that since this is a long haul and h...
Wheeler Peak Campground in Great Basin NP
Baker, Nevada
3.5
Located on the Nevada/Utah border about 4 hours from Salt Lake City, it's a hidden gem!
Wheeler Peak is Nevada's second highest mountain at just over 13000ft and provides the backbone of the park. A beautiful winding road takes you almost to the top of Wheeler from the bottom of the valley (around 5000 up to 10000ft at the top). I've been there twice now and have loved it. Lehmann Cave is one ...

Great Basin National Park is known for its unparalleled dark skies and stunning display of ancient Bristlecone Pines. This hike starts at 9,800 feet elevation and will ascend about 1,000 feet in elevation upon reaching the only glacier in Nevada! Great Basin is a desert, receiving less than 10 inches of rain per year so witnessing a view of this glacier is pretty spectacular. Not to mention the...
