Our last day in Baker started out with a tour of the Lehman Caves. These are the park’s main draw and they were pretty impressive. I’ve seen larger caves in Vietnam and Thailand but supposedly these caves have unique cave formations that you would be hard-pressed to find anywhere else.
We left Baker after lunch and stopped off in Ely to run some errands. Then we were back on the road with the intention of getting a bit closer to the Nevada-Idaho border.
On the way north we made a little detour into the Bonneville Salt Flats. It’s basically just a rest stop but you can get out and walk the flats for as long as you want. A good spot to click some photos.
A few miles into the flats is where the land speed record runs were done. We didn’t make it out there because it’s quite the hike but it was cool to be there. I hadn’t known that before I had arrived.
We drove another few hours and camped right outside this small town called Jackpot not too far from the border. Not much else going on. We are excited to get into Idaho and get a change of scenery. We want to see some green.
