Great Basin National Park

Great Basin National Park, NV

One of America's least-visited parks — a 13,000-ft peak, ancient bristlecone pines, a marble cave, and some of the darkest skies on the continent, with darker ones still to come down the road.

Where to stay

  • A Baker, NV inn (or campground)

    Tiny gateway town at the park's edge.
