Great Basin National Park

The only National Park in Nevada, Great Basin National Park was created to preserve an excellent sample of the mountain islands in the Great Basin Desert of Nevada. Each desert island contains distinct subspecies of plants and animals that have been isolated from each other making each island's inhabitants distinguishable. Containing bristlecone pines that are over 4,000 years old, Wheeler Peak at an altitude of 13,063-foot, Lehman Caves and numerous limestone caverns, Great Basin National Park is worth the drive for any of these sites alone. Situated several hours north of Las Vegas, it is possible to make the drive and visit for two days before returning to Vegas.
