**THREE DAYS AND TWO NIGHTS**

Though it’s hard to believe with the lineup of scenic features this place offers, Great Basin is one of the least visited national parks, making your time here even more special.

Great Basin National Park showcases the Silver State’s geographical diversity all in one place. Great Basin National Park’s high desert rises up to some of the state’s tallest peaks, which harbor the state’s only remaining glacier, cascading mountain streams, alpine lakes, the ancient bristlecone pine, and the state’s largest and most spectacular cave system.

Lehman Caves

A must-see at Great Basin National Park is the mighty Lehman Caves system, which is what originally put the area on a nationally significant radar. Tours of Lehman Caves offer a glimpse at stalagmites, stalactites, and rare cave formations called helictites—calcite features that curve into unlikely shapes that seem to defy gravity. While most other caves have one or two of these unique formations, Lehman has more than 300.

Ancient Bristlecone Pine

Ready to get to know some of the oldest living trees on earth? Discover a world of remarkable history at ancient bristlecone pine groves throughout the park. A group of biologists came to the region to study the mysterious bristlecone pine. They had suspected the trees were old; what they couldn’t have imagined is that they were actually the oldest living trees on Planet Earth, with some specimens clocking in at an unimaginable 4,900 years old (and counting)—a fact that nudged a National Park designation.
