Some pics I took at Great Basin National Park, including the Milky Way photo I took during Astrophotography Class at the 2025 Astronomy Festival. The Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive was very nice in mid-September with the aspen trees putting on their colorful autumn displays.

Dad's old Canon FTb 35mm film camera from about 1978 still takes nice photos. I took it on a trip to Great Basin National Park in Nevada with my eldest daughter. Most of these shots were taken with a Vivitar 24mm f2.8 lense, or a bargain bin $15 Rokinon 80-200mm f4.5 zoom. A little tweaking in Lightroom improved them.

Mushrooms at Great Basin

I was hiking the Timber Creek trail out at Great Basin National Park when I came across this colony of mushrooms.
I must admit that I know next to nothing in regards to mushroom species so I am unable to identify these.
What I do know is that I was quite fascinated by them. They seem to have an abstract quality to them.

From park website:

"Great Basin National Park is home to the only glacier in Nevada, and one of the southernmost glaciers in the United States: The Wheeler Peak Glacier."

We visited Great Basin National Park in late July and there was still runoff and flooding on the trails. But beautiful hiking trails were still navigable.
