Jason SantosGUEST
such an amazing experience seeing um you know a really different environment uh different types of peaks different types of trails um and then oh i guess probably on that my favorite part was on my way back home um i stayed at uh Great Basin National Park in Nevada, which if people who are listening have not been there, I highly recommend just going and experiencing that because it is this high alpine environment in the middle of Nevada where you would not expect it.
Jason SantosGUEST

And then we are driving to Great Basin National Park, which is in Nevada, and it's a, I think it's about an eight-hour drive.
KimGUEST
We probably won't get there in time for, like, to get our passport book stamped or anything, but it is supposed to be one of the best parks for stargazing, and it has, like, some pro- I think there'll probably be, like, a nighttime program that we can go to to kind of look at the stars.
KimGUEST
So that's our, mostly driving on August 5th, but just getting to Great Basin in time for the stars.

But, you know, some of the repeat ones that I, I answer back when people ask me this question are parks like Great Basin National Park in Nevada.
Jason WongGUEST
They have these, like, 5,000-year-old trees living at the top of these mountains, the oldest living trees in the world, so that was pretty life-changing.
Jason WongGUEST
As well as Wrangell-St. Elias up in Alaska.
