great basin national park印象
-
This park is gorgeous, with hiking trails and an underground cave (Lehman's Cave) to explore. Our small group tried to summit Wheeler Peak in 2009, but had to turn back when we saw a black cloud spitting lightning. We returned in 2014 and made it to the peak (13,063 ft!) This time we started out much earlier (7:30 am)

This park was great mainly due the sparse attendance. The cave tour was nice, but we enjoyed the scenic drive the most. Wish we had more time and it were warmer so we could have hiked some trails. We were told the bristle pine hike is great.

We loved this park. The hike on the Bristlecone trail was very rewarding and the tour of the Lehman cave was awesome. The park is fairly easy to see if you have a full day, but it is hard to get to. Make sure you make advance reservations for the cave tour. The day we went all tours were sold out. It is a very long way to go and not be able to tour the cave.

Vast isolation. Starry starry nights in the darkest of skies. Walking with ghosts in a grove as ancient as recorded time. The flash of Aspen gold on piney green.

This is a great park. Do the Bristlecone Pine hike it's totally worth the amazing views. Also make sure that you do the Lehman Caves tour. It's a great activity and a way to see the underside of the park that you have been exploring. They have many more trails that we didn't get to explore on this trip. We'll be back.

Nice drive from Ely to Great Basin.We took the first 90 minute cave tour. Fortunately we had reservations as it filled up. After the hike we drove up to the end of the road and did the Alpine Lakes Loop Trial. This is a nice hike (at high elevation, but not a lot, maybe 600 feet, of elevation gain.) You can gather pine nuts.Other hikes will take you to an arch, or the only glacier in Nevada.

we went for the Astronomy Fest-it was the highlight of our trip. The Ranger talent show was pretty good too.
-
Lehman Cave tour and Bristlecone trail on Wheeler peak were singular experiences. The vistas are grand. Be prepared for summer rainstorms and lightning when hiking, best to go in the morning. Nice visitor center.
-
We went in January so part of the park was closed due to snow. The visitors center was also closed. This is a park to see in the spring/summer/fall time of year. Unless you snowshoe or snowmobile don't go in the winter.

We enjoyed just driving around the park and taking many pictures of the scenery, but the highlight was the cave tour - with a great guide.. Before you go be sure to check on what is open and what time tours are available - this is a season impacted thing.
