The 77,000-acre park known for its ancient bristlecone pines & Lehman Caves, offering a range of trails.
"If you think Las Vegas is the only worthwhile stop in Nevada, a visit to the Great Basin National Park should change your mind. Mountains towering over 13,000 feet above sea level, 5,000-year old pine trees, the smell of sagebrush in the desert, and some of the darkest night skies in the country are the rewards for travelers. Stargazing, hiking, and fishing are common activities in the spring, summer, and fall, while skiers and snowshoers will have plenty of terrain and solitude for themselves in the winter."
