The Great Basin



































































Hi all! Today we went to the Great Basin National Park. It was amazing! We hiked through the beautiful forests and drove up Wheeler Peak to 9,000 feet. We were going to go to the Bristlecone Pine forest, but the road was closed due to too much snow. While we were at the scenic overlook of Wheeler Peak we saw a little rock squirrel and he posed for us! Our highlight of the day was definitely going to see Lehman Cave. It was coolest cave I've ever seen! It has amazing formations. Some of the them look like popcorn, bacon and curtains. If you ever come to the Great Basin, don't miss Lehman Cave! If you want to see more pictures of Lehman Cave and Great Basin National Park, go to Google Earth or Google. Tomorrow we'll be going to Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks, so keep checking!
