In the heart of Nevada, Great Basin National Park is a sanctuary of stars and solitude. Known for its dark skies, the park offers some of the best stargazing opportunities in the country. Visitors can marvel at the Milky Way stretching across the night sky, a sight that leaves a lasting impression. The park is also home to the ancient Bristlecone Pines, some of the oldest living trees on Earth. Hiking through these groves is like stepping back in time. With its rugged mountains, glacier-carved valleys, and crystal-clear streams, Great Basin is a haven for those seeking solitude and natural beauty.
