Lehman Caves

The Lehman Caves are one of the most visited attractions in the Great Basin National Park. The caves are among the most highly decorated limestone solution caverns in the western United States. The caves were discovered in 1885 and still contain a variety of unique formations and an array of stalactites and stalagmites that formed over the course of hundreds of thousands of years as water seeped into the caves depositing calcite crystals.

The visitor center offers 90-minute guided tours through Lehman Caves daily. The tour winds along a paved trail for six-tenths of a mile, taking visitors through numerous captivating chambers, including the Gothic Palace, the Cypress Swamp, and the Grand Palace. The temperature in the caves remains low, about 50 degrees, year-round, so warm clothing is recommended.
