The most important planning decision is not how to see everything—it is choosing one region and experiencing it well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/8b95dd34-ccb6-4fb8-9132-a07eef3a6c66/Denali+NPS.jpg Explore America with Holly: - Alaska - Denali National Park Holly Abroad planning note: I would not build the entire visit around obtaining one perfect mountain photograph. Weather controls the view. The landscape, wildlife and experience of traveling into the park should be the real event—and a clear view of the mountain can be the bonus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/841d5b60-943e-4eff-972e-94268d9f8f68/NPS+SITKA.png Explore America with Holly: - Alaska - Holly Abroad planning note: Begin with the exhibits and cultural interpretation before walking the Totem Trail.

Remote, uncrowded and wildly varied, it feels like discovering a corner of Nevada that most travelers simply drive past. Great Basin National Park was established October 27, 1986; the much older Lehman Caves National Monument, established in 1922, was incorporated into the new park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/ab5c4e36-47af-4974-8d76-4b7c6b82234c/1000030824.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park - Holly Abroad tip: Great Basin isn't a park where you see one landscape. Part of the fun is watching Nevada's high desert transform as you climb toward Wheeler Peak. Give yourself time to stop at the overlooks instead of treating the road simply as transportation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790398484550-TSS86YXKVD4OOUBEUM9Z/IMG_4541.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790398484763-4HUF1RQRZVD0EYTJIQ39/IMG_4537.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790398486291-DDZIU4TN72Q4OIOJQ8G1/IMG_4528.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790398486758-G7BT5BPWERGNX2B96CH3/IMG_4525.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790398488267-AWMN1H3C3798C1FQAW71/IMG_4522.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790398488597-Q69M2959A47WKC2RA27N/IMG_4511.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790398490540-8S3NZOIIWCID7JGDT0F6/IMG_4515.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790398491643-HJE8NL6RAE2BCZG6ZQHE/IMG_4509.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790398492980-TA1BH46TURFDL539GRHW/IMG_5888.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790398493823-8UX0XS82FGX34OVCG0FR/IMG_5869.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790398494933-GHFLR5ZHP0W3S3GZG62Z/IMG_5867.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/811c2faf-4cf7-438c-a89c-71167f2d295f/IMG_4549.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park - Holly Abroad history note: There may not be dramatic ruins rising from the desert, but that's part of the lesson here. Archaeology isn't always about monumental remains. Sometimes the landscape itself—and what archaeologists have learned from it—is the story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790398492980-TA1BH46TURFDL539GRHW/IMG_5888.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park Holly Abroad tip: Don't rush this drive. The changing landscape is part of the attraction. Stop at the overlooks, take pictures and watch the desert disappear beneath you as you climb. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/9241485e-b4fc-4ec9-9444-8c775160cd90/IMG_4543.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park The Historic Lehman Orchard Absalom Lehman established a ranch here in the 1870s, and trees from his orchard still survive near the Lehman Caves Visitor Center. Today there's a short boardwalk with interpretive signs and a bench. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/36e557a5-fcdb-45a2-a0ca-48966b0dc3d7/IMG_4542.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park - Restored by the National Park Serivce Absalom Lehman planted the orchard—featuring apricots, pears, peaches, and apples—in a challenging high-desert environment by building a two-mile-long irrigation aqueduct from Lehman Creek. Today, the restored orchard includes new trees and irrigation, the small orchard is easily missed…I almost did! I walked right past and neglected to take a picture of the precious little bench and boardwalk. That will be corrected in future posts! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/667e3ae0-1f33-4d15-a9d2-fe11b091950e/IMG_4458.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park - My Experience Great Basin was planned as a trip for my mother, who uses a wheelchair, and my sister and I were impressed by the accessibility of parts of the park. There are even accessible options for experiencing Lehman Caves for visitors with mobility or other accessibility needs. We found wide viewing platforms, seating and short developed paths that made it possible to enjoy the park without committing to difficult hikes. It is truly a wonderful place with more ways to experience it than I expected. The Astronomy Amphitheater offers ranger talks and stargazing beneath Great Basin's famously dark skies, along with spectacular views across the surrounding landscape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790462381531-U7CYW46YT0FVKOX68M8Z/IMG_4545.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790462381063-JTO61E8EDQDWBP6VQ47I/IMG_4541.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790462383835-72BUF11XOQ2H948AGX8J/IMG_4526.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790462383512-UUARKWISTVKHBEJOJSSK/IMG_4511.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790462386977-21AOAYZ0F94YVTXN1LTL/IMG_5883.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790462387027-Z7D8W47RH6ORBQXW8RKA/IMG_4502.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790462389358-ARJKABTRZ0K8ARJAHC8S/IMG_4492.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790462389970-QWV044MNLE3IY5Y56Y4I/IMG_5867.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790462392340-5OBC4QBD0XCKX5JTM2LD/IMG_5862.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790462391672-VSRN2WEIX6O491DYEZRW/IMG_4471.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790462393089-6NYKJWEFQOF11SLQ9Z7K/IMG_4467.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/1790462394148-O51C7KYR808M1GMP1MVH/IMG_4447.jpeg Explore America's National Parks - Great Basin National Park https://www.hollyabroad.com/explore-americas-national-parks/zion-national-park monthly 0.5 2026-09-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/26ee9231-67db-4a5e-aac3-ec4e48a36980/Zion+Stamp.png Explore America's National Parks - Zion National Park - Utah | Established 1919 ✓ HOLLY HAS BEEN HERE The Holly Abroad Take: Red cliffs, narrow canyons, ancient human history—and one of those places where the journey through the park is nearly as spectacular as the destination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a88d8af861ade4801c24074/32d7489c-4d08-497f-97a3-07826e158627/IMG_7163.jpg Explore America's National Parks - Zion National Park - Holly Abroad tip: I found Zion to be such a wonderful location — it allows for people young and old, newbie hikers (like me) and experienced hikers to see some of the most majestic vistas in the western United States.

You do not need a permit or reservation to use the shuttle system. During the shuttle season, visitors cannot drive personal vehicles on the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive. This includes before shuttles start for the day and after they stop running. Shuttles arrive about every 5 - 10 minutes on the Zion Canyon Line (inside the park) and about every 10 - 15 minutes on the Springdale Line (outside the park). Shuttles take about 45 minutes to drive between the Zion Canyon Visitor Center and the Temple of Sinawava. This means a round trip takes about an hour and a half.
