Wheeler Peak

Wheeler Peak is the tallest mountain in Great Basin National Park, and the second tallest in Nevada.  I hoped to finish on a bang by hiking to the top.   I did fairly well under the circumstances, but stopped a mile short and 1,000 feet under the summit.  There was a a lot of snow and a blustery wind to make the going unpleasant.  I'm glad I attempted it, got as far as I did and decided to turnaround where I did.
