The Great Basin Star Train Adventure
Trip Duration:
3.5 hours
Best Season:
Summer (ideal for clear Milky Way views and comfortable weather)
The Great Basin Star Train departs from the Nevada Northern Railway Museum, a historic site built in 1905 for copper mining. Starting at 7:15 p.m., passengers ride in a restored 1920s train powered by an old-fashioned engine. The journey passes through Steptoe Valley, offering breathtaking sunset scenes. After dark, experts from Great Basin National Park guide stargazing activities.
The train stops at Star Flat, where passengers can use telescopes to observe space wonders like Saturn’s rings, star groups, and even the International Space Station. Each passenger gets ample time to view through the telescopes.
Important Note:
* Trains run Fridays from May to September.
* Tickets often sell out a year ahead.
* Museum members ($30 fee) can buy tickets earlier (August 1).
