Great Basin National Park

Great Basin National Park is a National Park of the United States, located in east-central Nevada near its border with Utah. The park derives its name from the Great Basin, the dry and mountainous region between the Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Mountains. It is notable for its groves of ancient bristlecone pines, the oldest living things known, and for the Lehman Caves[?] at the base of Wheeler Peak[?].
