Have you ever visited a ghost town? 

Nelson, site of the most successful gold mining boom in southern Nevada, housed Techatticup mine, famous for being one of the most lawless mining towns of its time, that even law enforcement avoided it completely. 

A spontaneous stop turned out to be one of the most exciting places we visited in Nevada. This stunner, North American T-28B Trojan/Bu, is not an actual crashed plane but stored dismantled at the mine, making this ghost town 100x cooler โœˆ๏ธ

Wrapping up #NationalParkWeek with an incredible lesser-known park that we visited for the first time last year.

๐Ÿ“Great Basin National Park (Nevada)

Great Basin isn't a national park that you hear a whole lot about, but we were so impressed!

โ›บWe visited in August 2023 and camped in Wheeler Peak Campground within the park. The campground is at the top of Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive, sitting at 9,500 feet above sea level. This has been one of our all-time favorite camping experiences. The sites were well-spaced, and the views were incredible! We also liked that we could walk from our campsite to the trailhead for several of the Wheeler Peak area trails. 

๐ŸฅพDuring our visit, we went on two hikes in the Wheeler Peak area. We hiked the Alpine Lakes Loop trail the afternoon/evening we arrived and enjoyed some sunset views on the trail. The next morning, we hiked the Glacier Trail, which also took us past Bristlecone Grove.

๐Ÿ”ฆGreat Basin NP is home to Lehman Caves. The only way to tour the caves is by purchasing a ticket for a ranger-led tour. Two tours are offered. We chose the longer one, which was 90 minutes long. While it's not the biggest or the longest cave we've been in, I felt like it had some of the most impressive cave formations!

https://nvtami.com/2024/01/23/northern-washoe-county-ghost-towns-Spring is the prettiest time to visit ghost towns. 
Camp Denio was my favorite stop on last spring's trip to northern Washoe County. 
William โ€œBillieโ€ Denio homesteaded in this remote location. It is known as Camp Denio and Billie Denioโ€™s Place.
I love it when I find little treasures. I didnโ€™t expect to find an old photo of Denio Camp, but I came across it at the Library of Congress. The title is โ€œCamp Denio, 5 Miles From Scene of Murder, 1911.โ€ The photo was part of a series depicting the Battle of Kelley Creek between Native Americans and law enforcement.
Gorgeous scenery, historic buildings and a murder? One I finish my current project, this is on the top of new articles to write!
