A hike in Great Basin 🥾

#onthemove A day in Great Basin National Park is like stepping into a nature lover’s dream—and you don’t even have to share it with big crowds! Tucked away in eastern Nevada, this hidden gem is packed with jaw-dropping views, ancient trees, and adventures above and below ground. Kick off the day with a hike on the Bristlecone Pine Trail. These twisted, weathered trees have been standing strong for over 4,000 years! Touching a tree older than the pyramids? Total bucket-list moment. Plus, the alpine views along the trail are Instagram gold. Next, head underground to explore Lehman Caves. This place is straight out of a fantasy novel, with its otherworldly stalactites, stalagmites, and shimmering limestone shields. The guided tour is both mind-blowing and fun—your inner explorer will love it. After grabbing lunch, hit the Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive. As you climb to over 10,000 feet, the sweeping views of rugged peaks and desert valleys will leave you speechless. Be sure to stop at Mather Overlook for a selfie with a backdrop that looks like a postcard. Wrap up your day with some epic stargazing. Great Basin is an International Dark Sky Park, which means the stars here shine brighter than you’ve ever seen. Lying under that glittering canopy, you’ll feel like you’ve been let in on nature’s best-kept secret.
