Great Basin National Park

Great Basin National Park is located near the eastern Nevada border with Utah. Our visit was brief as we only just beat the winter snows by a few hours. The next morning, Mt. Wheeler, our destination, was shrouded in deep snow and the nearly 5,000 year old Bristlecone Pines and surrounding Limber Pines were into another year of their patient odysseys. It may be cliché, but the tale of the growth rings on one of the oldest dead Bristlecone pines still sparks amazement as various points in the rings represent significant historical events, with the birth of Christ as a more recent "event" and Columbus' explorations seeming to be only yesterday. Had the weather cooperated just a bit more, we might have had time to do justice to the beauty of this park. We'll be back.
