This tiny Nevada town is in shock after Great Basin National Park lost 20% of its staff
Just 41 people live in this town that's entirely dependent on the national park

Baker is a tiny town in Nevada with a population of 41. It’s the last stop on America’s loneliest road, before entering Utah, and the gateway to Great Basin National Park, Nevada’s only national park. Surrounded by a sea of public land in the high desert, Baker’s reputation far exceeds its stature. It’s well-known fGreat Basin National Park lost five people on its small staff, the Nevada Current reported last week. That’s 20% of the park’s staff, said Liz Woolsey, who owns and runs the Stargazer Inn and the Bristlecone General Store in Baker with her husband.

It’s still the off-season for folks who live in Baker. Even so, the aftershocks of the firings at Great Basin National Park are reverberating in the small community.

“We’re still in shock, and the waves are rippling from every decision being made, it seems, daily or hourly,” Woolsey said.or its friendly business owners, food trucks and star-filled night sky.

------------------------

In Baker, local businesses are utterly dependent on tourism to the national park. The Stargazer Inn has seven rooms, Woolsey said. The general store stocks food, supplies and outdoor gear, but it’s also a bookstore and sells local art.

“We are certainly just trying to figure out what’s at stake here,” Woolsey said. “If we don’t get tourism, people, travelers here, that’s definitely going to negatively impact our business.”
