Images of Great Basin National Park



Great Basin is a newer national park located near the Utah-Nevada border. The best known feature is Lehman Cave, but it is also known for Wheeler Peak, the the tallest mountain entirely in Nevada. (Wheeler Peak is 77 feet shorter than Boundary Peak, but Boundary Peak spans Nevada and California.)

Lehman Cave

Lehman Cave is located in Great Basin National Park, near the Nevada-Utah border. The neatest feature of these caves is the shields of rock.
