Ep. 180 - Great Basin National Park: Lehman Caves, Ancient Bristlecones & Nevada's Darkest Skies

<p>Great Basin National Park is Nevada&#39;s only national park entirely within the state — and one of the least-visited parks in the system. This week we&#39;re exploring it top to bottom: the 90-minute Grand Palace Tour inside Lehman Caves (the trip highlight, including the moment the ranger killed the lights), the Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive, 4,900-year-old bristlecone pines, and a night sky packed with thousands of stars.</p><p>We also head out beyond the park boundary: a ghost town called Osceola that got away from us down a gravel road, the Million Dollar Courthouse in Pioche. </p><p>Plus where to stay, where to eat in tiny Baker, and the case for going before everyone else figures this place out.</p><p><em><strong>_____</strong></em>_</p><p>If you&#39;re enjoying the show, hit follow right now — it takes two seconds and it&#39;s how we keep making it. And if you&#39;ve got another thirty seconds, leave us a rating.</p><p>____________________________________</p><p>S04 Ep180</p><p>____________________________________</p><p>Connect with us on social media: </p><p>Instagram: @unscaledtravelshow</p><p>Twitter: @fullmetaltravlr</p><p>Facebook: @fullmetaltraveler</p><p>Website: <a href="http://www.fullmetaltraveler.com/">⁠⁠https://www.unscaledtravelshow.com/</a></p>
