Public tours of the first two rooms of Great Basin National Park’s Lehman Caves will resume on Friday, May 22, right before the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
On the 30-minute Gothic Palace Lantern Tour, rangers will guide visitors to the Gothic Palace and Rose Trellis Room while visitors carry provided rechargeable lanterns to light the way on their journey. Tours will be offered up to 13 times daily (except May 26-28), with some tours being available by advance reservation and others sold on a first-come, first-served basis at the park’s Lehman Caves Visitor Center.
“Touring Lehman Caves has been a favorite activity of residents and tourists alike for more than 130 years, and we’re excited to welcome visitors back to a traditional Nevada experience,” Great Basin National Park Superintendent Ashley Adams said.
The remaining areas of Lehman Caves will remain closed as contractors continue to replace the cave’s electrical lighting system. When finished in late summer, visitors will notice improved visibility and efficiency, all while reducing disturbance to the cave’s fragile ecosystem. This multi-million-dollar project is funded by proceeds of land sales in the Las Vegas area, administered by the Bureau of Land Management and authorized by the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act. The park’s normal slate of cave tours, including Grand Palace, Lodge Room, and Introduction to Wild Caving tours, will resume after the lighting project has been completed.
