Great Basin National Park

After visiting the Ovens, I went to Great Basin National Park.  The campground, at 9,886 feet, was nice and cool.  I hiked to see Bristlecone Pine Grove and the Rock Glacier.  Also did a lot of reading and relaxing.  Went on a tour of the caves.

The drive up to the campground and trails.  Wheeler Peak in background.

Shady tentsite.

Ancient Bristlecone Pines.

More Pines.

Rock glacier.  I was warned ahead of time that it wasn't overly impressive!

Flies galore!  I saw more flies in one day here than I saw all summer anywhere else.
