What a great trip. Hundreds of miles of riding and beautiful scenery.
First stop was the Great Basin National Park in eastern Nevada.

The highlight was a tour of the Lehman Caves.

Then hiked up to see the Bristlecone Pine trees. This is the oldest living species on earth, some are over 5000 years old. GBNP also has the only glacier in Nevada, but thunderstorms forced us off the mountain before we could get to it.

On to Utah and some great riding.
