Great Basin National Park

Great Basin is my favorite overnight spot on the way from the bay area out to Yellowstone, I've stopped three times now, and keep wanting to go back as a destination.




Wheeler Peak campground is a wonderful oasis from the heat below, since its almost 10,000 feet. Access is limited to vehicles 24' or less.

The ranger led cave tours are a must if visiting Great Basin NP. Dick

Yes... the unusual sculptures are still along US 6/50.
