Great Basin National Park



 Today we drove to Great Basin National Park. The drive toward the end was beautiful, snow capped mountains, just so surprising to see. This park is in the middle of nowhere, almost on the Utah border.

We went to visit Great Basin and drove up the Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive. The road was an 8% grade for 12 miles, no flat spots. Wheeler Peak Scenic drive is closed due to snow but we made it to 9500 feet with no problems. The view just went on and on. 

We then drove down our 8% grade. We checked out the other roads, not many, in the park and were home by lunch. Tomorrow is housekeeping day.
