Great Basin National Park & Roadside Gems in Nevada

 

Road to Great Basin National Park
These beautiful flowers just pop along the roadside. 

Have you noticed that there are not too many
 National Parks that have straight roads?
The snowcapped mountains are stunning
to view in the distance. We passed up the caves
here because we have been in several over the years.
We promised you more roadside gems!
Folks you can only see this kind of stuff 
when you travel the back roads of America. 
Nevada Fence Art 
Too Tall Tony 
Barb Wire who is needing a new wardrobe.
And her husband a little worst for the wear, Bob Wire.
Some things you just don't have words for.
As we left the park, we also saw a picnic shelter 
with informational signs.
What you don't notice from the road
 is the intricate iron work along the top. 
A talented artist has taken a lot of time to make this
 so we wanted to share it with everyone.
There must be a lot of artists in this area because,
 just down the road we find another roadside gem.
 Wheeler Peak is 13,063 feet.
Could be a monument to bikers
 who lost their lives along this road. 
A very creative recycling artist.
