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[?].
