Back to US-50, I completed the circle through Nevada with one last little hike joining a pair of interpretive trails outside Fallon. The interpretive trail at Grimes Point showcases the 8000 year old petroglyphs of the area. The interpretive trail at Hidden Cave showcases the geology including the tufa with its human connections.

A pair of interpretive loops in Great Basin National Park, connected by scenic trails wandering past small lakes and the oddity of a rock glacier.
