Great Basin National Park is a cornucopia of underground caves, cultural resources, and high mountain environments. Two of the most popular trails in the park are the Alpine Lakes Loop and Glacier Trail, which are adjacent to one another.
Two educational signs currently mark the junction for the trails, but they are outdated and worn. The Fund for People in Parks provided a grant to produce and install two signs that will describe each trail and provide educational information about the glacier and lakes. The signs will nicely complement a previous Fund-sponsored project, the Bristlecone Trail Educational Signs, as well as a planned park project to re-do orientation signs at the parking lot. Signs will include information in both English and Spanish. Project Cost: $7,092 Project Begun: 2021 The Fund for People in Parks: $6,084 National Park Service: $1,008 |
