I haven't been to Great Basin National Park yet, but I have done the Mt. Timp caves hike with my kids--gets tough with a big weight on your back that moves around... Lol, I should do it again now that my kids are old enough to hike it themselves instead of being carried on my back. Lots of good hikes around here. The Mt. Timp hike to the top is also a great one with an awesome view. Sunrise is amazing! Sand dunes, yes!
For any young whipersnappers that like to hike at 10 to 13 thousand feet, Highway 50 runs through Sevier River valley.
If you follow it into Nevada there is a park "Great Basin National Park" . They grow Bristlecone pine trees way up high.
They are some of the oldest living thing on the planet. If I remember there was one 5000 years old. You can even chuck a few snow balls in the summer. It's one of the must do's.
One of the other memories I have of that trip,
Even though you just rebuild your chevy 350 into a 383 stroker, roller cam, Dart heads, If you have a carburetor, and a 12 foot camper, It aint gona run very good at 10 thousand feet. They have an upper parking lot, so you don't have to walk so much. I could have walked faster than my truck would go. Thats why I put fuel injection on the jeep.
Another "must do" while you can hike is go to the Mt.Timpanogos cave. Then there is the sand dunes, the High Uintas, yea, I do miss living in Utah. I just wonder if that warrant is still active, and on the books.
