A Trip To Great Basin National Park

Over Labor Day, we drove to

Great Basin National Park in Nevada.

We spent the night on Sunday

and started our Labor Day with

a hike through the Bristlecone Pine Forest,

where some of

the oldest trees in the world are located.

This was one of the nicest ones we saw.

Some of the trees are about 5,000 years old!

Later that morning,

we had a tour of Lehman Caves.

I like caves and have wanted to go

through this one for a while.

Here are pictures of several

formations inside the cave:

This formation is the most famous.

It is called "The Parachute".

On our way home, we made two stops:

We visited the locally famous

Parowan Gap and

saw the petroglyphs,

and we visited Frisco,

a ghost town just west of Milford, UT.

It had a small grave yard

with several graves of children.

These charcoal ovens still stand in the town,

but most of the buildings are off limits and

are gated off with no trespassing signs.
