Great Basin camping is first come first serve. We checked out the campground and found a nice site at Upper Lehman Campground and decided not to go back to Cave Lake.
LEHMAN CAVES
Leann really likes caves and was able to book us on a last minute tour of Lehman Caves. Lehman Cave dates back to 600,000,000 years ago when this area was covered by a warm shallow sea.
It’s hard to fathom the time it took dipping water to make these formations.
The colors and formations are amazing.
ALPINE LAKES & BRISTLECONE PINE TRAIL
We did the Alpine Lakes loop when the girls were young. We did not do the Bristlecone section since that might have been a bridge too far for 3 little kids.
I had to show this picture from our first time here with the 3 J’s.
Bristlecone Pine tree, one of the trees was measured to be 4,850 years old.
HAPPY TRAILS, STEVE
