Mountain Lake - Great Basin, 2019 - a photo on Flickriver

Mountain Lake - Great Basin, 2019

            Great Basin National Park only gets about 150k visitors a year (compared to Grand Canyon’s 6-million). This is most likely due to how remote this park is. It’s located along a highway referred to by many as “the loneliest road in America”, and having driven part of it in can 100% confirm this is an accurate pseudonym. This park is an island of greenery and mountainous alpine forest located in a vast, flat, and hot desert. The scenic drive up the mountain takes you to about a 9,800ft elevation, and the hikes from there take you well above 10,000ft and beyond. While out hiking, I broke my personal on-foot elevation record at about 10,700ft. I also got a picture of this gorgeous mountain lake that I had completely to myself for the entire time I was here. Sometimes it pays off to visit those “out of the way” parks.
