Just back a day ago from three weeks on what turned out to be a circumnavigation of Nevada backcountry...of which there is quite a lot .
Three days from home to get to our first and primary destination...Great Basin NP. Very lightly visited, mostly because it is way the eff out there on the central NV/UT borderlands...a long way from anywhere.
This is one of those innumerable small isolated mountain chain islands within the high desert that is the western US Great Basin. Peaks over 13,000 feet. Our campground was at 10,000 feet.
We had a stretch of real nice weather, 70's day time and 40's nights. Then a stretch of cool and damp, 50's daytime, upper 20's nights, thundershowers with hail, snow up high. Loved it all.
Hikes to see bristlecone pines was a real highlight. Aspens changing to fall colors were beautiful.
Pictures. No particular order .
