What makes a good sunset at Great Basin National Park?

Great Basin is one of the least visited national parks in the country, which makes it one of the most rewarding for photographers willing to make the drive. Wheeler Peak rises to nearly 13,000 feet and catches alpenglow dramatically against the Nevada basin below. The ancient bristlecone pine forest near the summit provides gnarled, sculptural foreground that's thousands of years old. The park sits in one of the darkest regions in the continental US, so golden hour flows directly into world-class night sky conditions. Fall brings aspens to color on the mountain slopes, adding warm yellow tones to the already vivid evening light.
