Great Basin National Park, NV.

On Aug 31 – Sep 2 we visited Great Basin National Park. The park is located in east-central Nevada, near the Utah border, 39.00581, -114.21969. We stayed at the Whispering Elms RV park in Baker, NV. The park , features Wheeler Peak (13,063 ft.), ancient Bristlecone Pine trees and Lehman Caves. I would like to visit again so I can summit Wheeler Peak and explore the caves.
