The American Discovery Trail spans the USA from California to Delaware and comes right through Baker! This year in celebration of American 250, a relay will carry a copy of the Declaration of Independence from coast to coast. It began on July 4th at the Golden Gate Bridge and will reach Baker on Wednesday, July 29th and reaching Delaware by Thanksgiving!

💡💡💡 Experience Lehman Caves in a whole new light 💡💡💡

Beginning Friday, July 10, we will resume limited ranger-guided Grand Palace and Lodge Room tours of Lehman Caves, using the cave's all-new lighting system.

Tours will be available by reservation and on a limited walk-up basis from July 10-12. Tour availability from July 13-16 will be on a walk-up basis only and will be dependent on construction activities.

Reservations become available on Recreation.gov at 7:00am Pacific time Friday.

Howdy folks! With July 4 just around the corner, we know many of you are poised with your finger on the button to reserve tours of Lehman Caves for the holiday weekend.

But whoa there, hold up – we’re pushing pause on those reservations until June 19.

Contractors are progressing toward completion of the Lehman Caves lighting system – a once-in-50-years project that will improve the visitor experience and protect the cave environment for generations to come. In fact, they’re ahead of schedule. But we’re at a pivotal point in construction, and the next two weeks will give us insight into what tours we can offer to celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday.

So mark your calendars for the morning of Friday, June 19 – we’ll load the tour schedule for July 3-5 and reservations will become available on Recreation.gov.

Thereafter, we’ll load schedules 14 days in advance until the cave lighting project is complete and we can fully reopen Lehman Caves to the public.

Thanks for your patience, and we look forward to cutting the ribbon on another half-century of underground adventure in Lehman Caves.
