Good easy hikes in Great Basin National Park?
I'm headed to Great Basin National Park the first part of May. Our group is in need of some recommendations on some good hikes that are pretty easy for kids and family. Any Suggestions?

They are probably trails you've already looked at, but I love all the little hikes around Stella, Teresa, and Brown lakes. They are right in the shadow of Wheeler Peak and are good for kids. You really can't beat the surreal landscape of the Bristlecone Grove with 4,000 year old trees! I thought that was a typo the first time I read that. If the kids are up for it, the hike up to the glacier is very cool but a bit rugged toward the top.

Lexington Arch might be a possibility. Big Wash too. Possibly Timber Creek, but it's mostly just a forest hike.Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

Ill look into those. We are planning to do Lehman cave as well. Are there other caves that you can do with first timers that might not be guided?
