Awesome attraction hidden in the mountains. Lehman Caves are worth the stop if you are in the area. The cave formations have to be experienced and seen. The rangers are very experienced in the cave formations and local history of the cave. It is amazing that some of the cave formations are repairing themselves after being distrubed in the past....

Book early to reserve your space for the caves tour. We camped in Great Basin and hiked a little despite the snow. Our tour of Lehman Caves was well worth the $10 entrance fee, mostly because of our young, cute guide Ranger Kate (from TX). This place really is a hidden gem. Camping was peaceful and the facilities were very... More

$8.00 per person for a 1.5 hour tour! Beautiful cave experience with excellent guidance by park personnel. Lots of photographic opportunities. We packed a lunch and picniced at a nice area adjacent to the cave system. Highly recommended! Also highly recommend reservations as each tour is limited. We heard several folks turned away because all tours were full. More

Yeah I mean it. We drove far out of our way to see the Lehman Caves. It's one of those experiences you will never forget and well worth the $10 tour. We camped on Wheeler Peak and then visited the caves first thing in the morning which is the way to go. Our tour had about 20 people. If you... More

We recently went to Great Basin National Park and toured the Lehman Caves. It was $10 a person for the whole tour and it was worth it. We learned a lot, saw some amazing structures and enjoyed the 90 minute tour. Our teenagers also had a lot of fun with it and were amazed by the cave formations. It does... More

Lehman Caves is indescribable. You can use all the right words, you can take pictures with the best camera but unless you see it with your own eyes you really can’t grasp it. Las Vegas has no show that is better. It is nature, no special effects, no sound track, no feathered dancers. It does not need them. One warning,... More

The caves are magnificent. We took the 90 minute tour. We were able to reserve our tickets the day before. This was nice because we were driving in from Salt Lake and weren't sure we would get there in time before they sold out. We arrived a couple hours early and my 11 year old daughter was able to complete... More
