Today, we visited our tenth national park of the trip - Great Basin National Park, in Nevada. At Great Basin, there is another cave.
This cave - Lehman Cave - was quite different than the cave we saw at Wind Cave.
Once we were inside the cave we saw the differences between Lehman Cave and Wind Cave. Lehman Cave was gothic-looking, filled with stalactites and stalagmites (which gave us a chance to test our memory of the saying we'd learned from Ice Cave about which is which). Lehman Cave also has mitey-tites, where stalactites and stalagmites meet up with each other.
After the cave, we drove up to the top of the mountain in Great Basin, had lunch, and drove back down. We stopped at a few spots along the way for scenery, and then went on a short hike, where we were on the hunt for flowering cacti.
Our experience at Great Basin taught us that Nevadians have a sense of humor. On our way into the park, we were greeted by several statues.
