Based around Nevada's second tallest mountain, Wheeler Peak, Great Basin National Park contains 5,000-year-old bristlecone pines, a rock glacier, and the limestone Lehman Caves. Due to its remote location, the park has some of the country's darkest night skies. Wildlife includes the Townsend's big-eared bat, pronghorn, and Bonneville cutthroat trout. The park is 77,180 acres (312 km2) and receives 168,028 recreation visitors per year. Photo Credit: Great Basin National Park - The Pinus longaeva grove in which the Prometheus tree grew.
