We visited Great Basin National Park in Nevada, just across the state line from Utah, and discovered what might be one of our new favorite places!
Check out our hiking and camping highlights from a three-day weekend there where we hiked to a glacier and found a tree that is more than three THOUSAND years old!

Terrific! I am adding it to my list right now. Are you able to speak with any authority about the order of most desirable campgrounds in that area? Something close to everything? Wheeler Peak Campground I’m thinking? Also, our tip to you guys and everybody else, bring a black light flashlight with you whenever you go into a cave. You would be surprised about the brilliant colors when you find dark spaces or when they turn the lights off.

Good tip on the black light. We have them now that we're doing scorpion hunting regularly while in Utah. As for campgrounds, it depends on what you're looking for and what you plan on doing. We liked Upper Lehman's layout and location. Wheeler Campground was closer to some of the trailheads; you might even be able to walk straight from camp depending on where your site is.

We were there in 2017. We stayed in the campground in town.

We really liked this park. Its attendance is so low compared to many others right now. Thanks for watching!

@jefhamner2401 9 месяцев назад

Actually there are many spots for vans and trailers. We parked a 32 foot motorhome as well!

Interesting... we didn't seem to find the larger sites when we were looking around, but we could have missed them. Do you remember if they are in one certain campground or spread around? Thanks for watching and for providing the extra info!

The Lehman Cave looks amazing. Too bad they don't allow weddings in the cave anymore. That would be much cooler than traveling to Las Vegas and getting married by an Elvis impersonator...💍🔔😎

Elvis in the cave - now THAT would be a wedding people would remember! 😄

What dates were you guys actually there? My wife and I visit in late September. Is there still snow on Wheeler Peak?

@Trekers 10 месяцев назад

We were there July 28-30. There was some snow still on the trails but most of it was gone until you got closer to Wheeler Glacier. We hope you have a great trip and get some clear dark skies overnight. Thanks for watching!
