## Resource

On This episode of Trip Talk Gary Mantz welcomes Chief Enthusiasm Officer of The Stargazer Inn and Bristlecone General Store Liz Woolsey the conversation takes listeners on a remote and unforgettable road trip through eastern Nevada, spotlighting Great Basin National Park and the rugged journey along Highway 50—famously known as the “Loneliest Road in America.” The conversation highlights the unique appeal of this off-the-grid destination, where travelers trade crowds for solitude, scenic mountain passes, and vast desert landscapes. Along the way, road trippers can explore Lehman Caves, hike quiet alpine trails, visit ancient bristlecone pine forests, and experience some of the darkest night skies in the country. With insights into Baker, Nevada as a welcoming gateway stop and basecamp, the episode emphasizes the beauty of slow, scenic travel and the rewards of venturing into one of America’s most peaceful and awe-inspiring regions.
