This is a great trail. We planned on continuing up the Glacier Trail past the Bristlecone Loop, but having flown in from the Midwest the day before, the altitude at the trailhead, about 10,000 ft, p… parksvisitor的完整评论

One of the reasons I wanted to go to Great Basin was to see these amazing trees that were 3,000-4,000 years old. Unfortunately we did not get to see the stump of Prometheus (5,000 years old) as the … Grover R的完整评论
I will be visiting Great Basin in a couple of weeks. I was planning on hiking the Bristlecone Pine Grove trail at the foot of Wheeler Peak. From my understanding, there is a fairly easy Bristlecone trail. I do have a fear of heights, so I wanted to double check the type of hike this is. I am fine with being up high. I just do not like the sharp drop offs or cliffs. Are the trails fairly okay with this? What about the rest of that hike toward the glacier? Is this still fairly moderate and cliff free? I am going with a friend, who is a pretty skilled hiker, so I would not be alone. Still, I want to make sure this is something I can do. Any tips on this hike? How cold does this area get in the summer? I know there is some snow toward the top during July sill. Also, I am supposed to meet him at the visitor center as he will be camping and I will be at a hotel (Stargazer inn). I will have the car that night, but as noted, I have the fear of heights. I know I am literally less than a mile away from the visitor center, but I wanted to make sure there is no real issue with heights in the drive in. Once I am to the visitor center and we explore the national park, he will be driving and I am fine in the passenger seat.

I can only respond to the portion of the hike that leads to the grove itself. There are no steep drop offs and nothing that should be unnerving regarding heights. The trail at times is covered in large slatey rocks which can be hard on the feet. Wear good boots. Also, you are at altitude, so be prepared for more fatigue. The hike takes more time than is described, so take water and don't rush. You will not like the drive up to the visitor center. Very winding and no shoulders.
