Baker Creek Road Details
To access Baker Creek Road, take the first left when you enter the park coming from the Great Basin Visitor Center. The left turn onto the gravel road comes directly after the right turn for the paved Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive. Once you are on Baker Creek Road, it isn't long before you reach the park's only group campsite and shortly thereafter, another regular campground. The end of the 3.4-mile Baker Creek Road serves as a trailhead for a couple of beautiful hikes, and because these attractions are not off of the main paved road, chances are you will be seeing part of the park that is not seen as often by guests.
