"Explore caves, mountains, and dark skies. "

"Established in 1986 Great Basin National Park is Nevada's wild jewel— its many facets coming together to create one exquisite gem. Wander caves deep underground before coming into the light to ascend a mountain covered in some of the world's oldest known living trees. Where the world's oldest tree species survives in a vital ecosystem rarely seen elsewhere on the continent."

"La ricompensa per chi affronta la Hwy 50 è lo spettacolare e poco frequentato Great Basin National Park (2775-234-7331; www. nps.gov/grba; 100 Great Basin; ©24h) FREE. Vicino al confine tra il Nevada e lo Utah, questo parco comprende il Wheeler Peak (3982 m) che si innalza all'improvviso nel deserto. I sentieri escursionistici in prossimità della vetta attraversano splendidi paesaggi composti da laghi glaciali, secolari pini dai coni setolosi e persino un ghiacciaio peren-ne. L'ingresso è libero e, in estate, si possono chiedere informazioni al Lehman Ca-ves Visitor Center (www.nps.gov/grba; 5500 W Hwy 488, Baker; 98-16.30), che si trova subito a nord di Baker. Ammirare le stelle dal campeggio del parco è fantastico."

"The Great Basin is a temperate desert, with hot, dry summers and cold, snowy winters. The desert covers most of Nevada, as well as parts of western Utah, eastern California and Idaho. The Great Basin is a land of geographical contrasts, playing hosts to more than 33 mountain peaks over 9,800 feet, as well as pinyon-juniper forests, high valleys and deep canyons. The Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest protects many wilderness areas with the Great Basin, providing endless opportunities for recreation. Some highlights include Great Basin National Park in Nevada, which gives visitors a taste of the diverse landscapes found throughout this beautiful desert landscape, and the rainbow-hued Fly Geyser. People will probably think you’re crazy when you tell them that you’re heading to eastern Nevada to explore subalpine lakes, forests, and 13,000-foot peaks. But in the midst of the desolate desert lies Great Basin National Park, home to the only active glacier in Nevada and the world’s oldest living trees, the ancient Bristlecone pine. Great Basin is incredibly diverse. In the north, a scenic road hugs the mountainside as it ascends 13,000-foot Wheeler Peak, while at lower elevations, the intricately-carved Lehman Caves take hikers through a subterranean world of stalactites and other rare cave formations. And if you ask the locals, half the park is after dark. Recently designated an International Dark Sky Park, Great Basin will allow you to gaze for hours at thousands of stars, meteors, man-made satellites, and the Milky Way. Although summer months can get moderately busy, the park doesn’t get visited nearly as often as nearby Utah national parks. The only real drawback to Great Basin is a lack of lodging and facilities. There are five developed campgrounds and some primitive camping along Snake Creek road, but aside from that, you’re on your own. Not to mention, Great Basin desert climate can make the 60 miles of developed trails more challenging during warm summer months."
