Next stop, we are on our way to Baker, NV, just outside Great Basin National Park, The Great Basin is an area that includes almost all of Nevada, Eastern Oregon, and Western Utah. All the rain and snow that falls within the basin stays within the basin and does not run off in to any of the oceans. I was sadden by the amount of snow still on top of the mountain as that ended any hope I had of hiking around the top.
Our first day here we toured Lehman Caves which is inside the park. We took the 90 minute ranger guided tour which visits all the rooms available to the public. Lehman Cave does not have the large rooms that you will find at Carlsbad Caverns but we still had an enjoyable experience.
On Saturday we took a day hike in the park on the Baker Creek trail. As with most of the trails here, they are all uphill but it was nice to be in this environment and take the legs for a spin. On the way down the trail, we spotted a white wild turkey. It was looking for food and squawking.
Next on the itinerary, we head to an RV park outside Reno, Nevada for some Costco time and a visit to Lake Tahoe.
