Changde Wu    2017-11-22

Basin and Range Province, also call Great Basin, located between Sierra Nevada from West and Great Salt Lake in the east, is a vast area where rivers never flow out, where tens of north-south trending ranges alternate with basins. Great Basin National Park is a gem of the Great Baisin, with a cavern, snow peaks and oasis. We spent 2 day travesing the Great Basin from Reno along Rt 50 to Salt Lake City, Great Basin National Park is a full day of our travel.
