Upper
Lehman Creek Campground
National Park
Service - Great Basin National Park
Upper Lehman camp is located a few miles up the Wheeler Peak
Scenic Road, a short distance from the Park Entrance, just
upstream from the Lower Lehman camp.
The
campground is laid in two sections, the lower section (Sites 1-16) and
the upper section (sites 17-24). The upper section may not be open
early and late in the season.
The
lower section is in a moderately dense forest of spruce and aspen.
The upper section is more densely forested and more attractive
looking. One site in the upper section requires you to cross a
small bridge to the campsite. Quite cool. There is a trail
that heads out of the upper section that travels up Lehman Creek Canyon
to the Wheeler Peak Campground. It's a beautiful trip, but
straight uphill.
Upper
Lehman is the most popular low elevation camp at Great Basin National
Park. Expect company. But this is the place to stay at lower
elevations in the Main Park Complex. Reviewed SEP98, JUL03.
