Great Basin National Park: Wild, Beautiful, and FREE. We were completely blown away by this national park. If you want to go somewhere that exists in the Lower 48 States to feel like you’ve stepped away from the modern world, this is the place. Alpine mountains, high desert floors, and some of the oldest trees in the world… next time, we will spent a LOT longer at this remote, stunning, wild destination.

The Loneliest Highway in America Across Nevada’s Great Basin - Don’t Miss This! While reading descriptions of this drive, it’s easy to think it’s a stretch of desolate road to avoid - but don’t. Please do yourself the favor of taking time across this high desert, remote, beautiful slice of high desert that’s unlike any place else we’ve driven.
