Wrapping up #NationalParkWeek with an incredible lesser-known park that we visited for the first time last year.

📍Great Basin National Park (Nevada)

Great Basin isn't a national park that you hear a whole lot about, but we were so impressed!

⛺We visited in August 2023 and camped in Wheeler Peak Campground within the park. The campground is at the top of Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive, sitting at 9,500 feet above sea level. This has been one of our all-time favorite camping experiences. The sites were well-spaced, and the views were incredible! We also liked that we could walk from our campsite to the trailhead for several of the Wheeler Peak area trails. 

🥾During our visit, we went on two hikes in the Wheeler Peak area. We hiked the Alpine Lakes Loop trail the afternoon/evening we arrived and enjoyed some sunset views on the trail. The next morning, we hiked the Glacier Trail, which also took us past Bristlecone Grove.

🔦Great Basin NP is home to Lehman Caves. The only way to tour the caves is by purchasing a ticket for a ranger-led tour. Two tours are offered. We chose the longer one, which was 90 minutes long. While it's not the biggest or the longest cave we've been in, I felt like it had some of the most impressive cave formations!

Walking through the narrows 🥾

I’ve been wanting to visit this place for a while now, but the last time I tried going was after a wash came through and made it difficult to get out there. This time I was finally able to go, and it did not disappoint. What’s even crazier is that this place is about 1 hour outside of vegas!! 

📍Anniversary Narrows, NV 
🚗 4x4 recommended (I have AWD and no issues)

Pure excitement! Z reeled in her first fish of the season. Gorgeous little rainbow trout; the marshes never disappoint.

Officially survived my first week in McGill, Nevada. Small town living has been quiet and relaxing so far. There are 847 people in this town. My job with Schellraiser Festival keeps me busy and I've got to meet some of White Pine Countys movers and shakers! I've compiled a list of things you must love in order to thrive in rural Nevada living:
1. Must love rocks
2. HOT SPRINGS (photoed is only 1.5 hours from my place 😈)
3. Hiking
4. Off-roading
5. Arrowheading (catch and release of course)
6. Hunting/fishing 
7. Ghost towns 
8. Camping 
9. Dark skies and bright stars
10. You really have to love rocks.

Can you think of anything else to add??
