Great Basin National Park, Nevada

#solotrip Tucked away in eastern Nevada, Great Basin National Park is a haven for solitude seekers. The park boasts striking landscapes ranging from ancient bristlecone pine forests to rugged mountain peaks, including the 13,065-foot Wheeler Peak. For solo travelers, the Lehman Caves tour offers an intimate exploration of a subterranean wonderland. Stargazing is unparalleled here, as Great Basin is one of the darkest night skies in the continental U.S. Hiking trails like the Alpine Lakes Loop offer serenity and breathtaking views. The lack of crowds ensures a peaceful experience, ideal for reflection or photography. While it lacks extensive amenities, its remoteness is part of the charm. Plan for rustic accommodations or camp under the stars. Don’t forget to pack layers, as temperatures can fluctuate.
