Scenic view of a serene aspen grove along the Aspen Grove Trail in Great Basin National Park, captured in summer daylight. The tall, slender white trunks of quaking aspens rise vertically against a backdrop of dense green foliage and soft, partly cloudy skies. The forest floor is dotted with grass and underbrush, emphasizing the lush natural beauty of the high-elevation alpine ecosystem. Ideal for hikers, nature lovers, and travelers exploring Nevada's Great Basin wilderness. #AspenGroveTrail #Aspens #GreatBasinNationalPark #QuakingAspens #NaturePhotography #HikingNevada #AlpineForestScenery

Technically a grove - not a forest, but still stunning! The Aspen Grove Trail in Great Basin National Park is 4-miles of quiet beauty. The overcast sky and the high elevation on the way to Wheeler Peak made for perfect walking temps. #ForestFriday #roadtrip #findjoy #NationalParks #GreatBasinNP

Wheeler Peak in Great Basin National Park stands tall beneath overcast skies, framed by lush green pines and aspen trees in the foreground and rugged, rocky ridges in the distance. #photography #artyear #protectpublicland #resist #istandwithparkrangers #Nevada #NationalPark #WheelerPeak #mountains

It was a rainy/overcast morning but seeing Wheeler Peak at Great Basin National Park was still terrific. The scenic drive spans 12 miles and climbs to over 10,000ft - full of trails, creeks, desert & valley views. #NatParkGeek #NationalParks #findjoy #roadtrip #ParkChat #GreatBasinNP #saveourparks

A sunlit Aspen sapling with bright green leaves on a shaded trail, leaf litter in on the dirt trail. Farther down the train grown Aspens can be seen in their fall splendor with yellow and orange leaves.

Happy #EarthDay I hope that you got to go out and enjoy the wonders of this planet. My backyard looks like chaos of plants and is wonderful to me.
Here is something that photographed better, an aspen sapling on a trail in #GreatBasinNP from October last year.

Two of the most awe-inspiring experiences I've had in my life were a ranger-guided hike of the Fiery Furnace in #ArchesNP & stargazing with rangers in #GreatBasinNP. It's sorrow-inducing to think others might not get to enjoy these & similar experiences in the future.

Golden hour light hits the different rock formations leading up to Wheeler Peak in Great Basin National Park. A few wispy clouds are in the sky above.

Another shot of just before sunset today on the backside of Wheeler Peak in Great Basin National Park. Love the colors on the different rock formations, hope to hike up it next year 🤞

Back side of the 13k ft. Wheeler Peak in Great Basin National Park today at sunset. One of these days, I'll get here early enough in the year to be able to hike the trail up there, but not this year (road up is closed due to recent snow & ice). Goals!
