Tour of the West: Also Seen in Nevada

Ma July 08, 2015 #family #vacation

Also seen as we crossed Nevada:

Not pictured: Many many mountain passes going through the Basin and Range province.

Random boulders with petroglyphs (pictured: Great Basin Pecked Style petroglyphs at Grimes Point)

Weird isolated sand dune: Sand Mountain. It may look smooth and pristine, but as you get closer, you can see ATV tracks all over it, following unlikely-seeming lines. People clearly have fun here.

Many ruins of old Pony Express stations. I was amused to note that the youngest reported rider was only 11 years old. (Nimue declined to comment.)

Caves! There are a bunch in Great Basin NP; we opted to take a tour of Lehman Caves as this was the legal way to access them.

Cave photography is difficult, especially with my puny camera; this difficulty is compounded by the face-making tendencies of the small monster. Or maybe helped...

Archaeological site near Baker.

Happy silly peoples.
