| Must visit attractions include Great Basin National Park, home of ancient bristlecone pines. These gnarled giants, which only grow at elevations of more than 10,000 feet, can live to be 4,000 years old. The park also has hiking trails that lead to alpine lakes and majestic mountain tops, including 13,063-foot Wheeler Peak, the second highest point in Nevada. Also visit Lehman Caves, accessed through the park's visitor center, offers fantastic displays of stalactites and stalagmites developed over hundreds of thousands of years. |
