On the Road Again Day 2 | Great Basin National Park
When we planned the route for our road trip, this national park caught our eye. We didn't even know there was a national park in Nevada, let alone a huge limestone cave system. We'll detour hundreds of miles to visit a cave; that this one was on our route made it a definite "yes" on our adventure.
It took most of the day to get from south-central Oregon across most of northern Nevada to the nearest town to spend the night. Along the way we made a hotel reservation, and booked a cave tour for tomorrow morning.
The scenery is breath-taking. One flat valley after another, separated by a ridge of hills or mountains. It's a landscape that's nearly without company on the highway, with only a few small towns. We'd climb up one mountain range, down the other side, then cross a wide flat basin... always with the next mountain range in the distance. Stunning.
