As mentioned in my comments to John, Nevada is a state with many off-the-beaten-path and overlooked wonders.<br />I, too, love the bristlecone pines—love the fact that they've been around for millennia and have seen so much history!<br />Thanks for reading and commenting!One Day in Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908834658716123640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975306347330050350.post-20289871443329731732016-06-06T17:54:16.110-07:002016-06-06T17:54:16.110-07:00Hi John,

They think of Nevada only as a place to gamble, or as a state to drive through on their way to California. <br />The Bristlecone Pine/Glacier trail is indeed magnificent. 17 years ago we hiked the trail in July and saw the impressive glacier. Unfortunately, as of 2016, the glacier is almost completely gone.<br />But a trip to Great Basin is still a must-do!<br />Thanks for your comments!One Day in Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908834658716123640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975306347330050350.post-62274960691515827132016-06-06T10:06:51.704-07:002016-06-06T10:06:51.704-07:00Glad to see you have started on a new series, Rita...Glad to see you have started on a new series, Rita and that too on the places that are far from the madding crowd :) <br />And exceptional pictures too! That bristlecone pine in particular, much weathered and witness to the advancing waves of civilization. And the Wheeler peak as well.

The Bristlecone Pine/Glacial Trail combo alone seems like it would be exceptionally interesting and scenic.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this information,<br /><br />John1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.com
