We just came back this weekend from a long weekend of tenting at this beautiful park.
They have a myriad of campground options at the park.
We recommend the Wheeler Peak campgound which at over 10,000 feet up is a bit nippy in the morning or the lower Lehman campground which is at 7,000 ft. Both have nice pull through sites, plenty of shade, and wildlife.
Will be back there next year with the Rig.

Bonus- campsite fishing for trout in the local stream.
Gorgeous views, great staff of Rangers, peace and quiet, great hiking.

Baker, Nev.

Robert, you are right about this place, we have been there often. You forgot to mention the Lehman Cave which is quite an experience with the stalactites and stalagmites. If you like pine nuts (I do,Ido) it's a great place to harvest the cones and then take them home to dry out until they shed the nuts. You just have to be prepared for the tar pitch you encounter when collecting the cones. The great basin has a lot to offer.

Robert....you need to host them off-site, like at photobucket.com or maybe mac.com and then "link" to them in your forum posts

When you do that the pictures will then have their own address on the net...you copy & paste that address into a forum post....put [img]in-front-of%20the%20address%20and[/img] at the end, no spaces and your pictures will appear like magic..(note the image tags are slightly different)

Using photobucket.com the image tags, in both sides of the address, are put in for you...just copy & paste

Alternatively you can put them in your Photo Gallery here and link to them in a forum post...
