Great Basin Dog Policy
Great Basin National Park is Somewhat Dog Friendly
Based around Nevada's second tallest mountain, Wheeler Peak, Great Basin National Park contains 5,000-year-old bristlecone pines, a rock glacier, and the limestone Lehman Caves. Due to its remote location, the park has some of the country's darkest night skies. Wildlife includes the Townsend's big-eared bat, pronghorn, and Bonneville cutthroat trout.[1]
Great Basin National Park is somewhat dog friendly. There are only two trails dogs are allowed on, but dogs are allowed in the campgrounds and along roads.
