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

๐Ÿ“Great Basin National Park (Nevada)

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

โ›บWe 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. 

๐ŸฅพDuring 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.

๐Ÿ”ฆGreat 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!

We couldnโ€™t get the UFO into the bus! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ Despite not having space for the ultimate extraterrestrial souvenir, weโ€™re enjoying the Extraterrestrial Highway! We took off early (shed photo is from 5 a.m.), sought supplies from et.freshjerky (Martian soda and butter toffee almonds), saw the alien_research_center and landed in Rachel at the Little Aโ€™Leโ€™Inn.

RIVIERA STARDUST | THE NEON MUSEUM, LAS VEGAS

One of the highlights of my trip to Las Vegas was exploring the Neon Museum in the downtown area. There is so much Vegas history in these old signs. I highly recommend a visit here if you are visiting.
