9. Wheeler Peak
Location: Great Basin National Park, Nevada
Elevation: 13,161 ft / 4,011 m
Despite the fact this is a “thirteener,” we firmly believe you’ll be able to make it to the top! There are two main trails to take, Bull-of-the-Woods Trail, and the Williams Lake Trail. The first one takes 16 miles, and the latter is only seven miles long but much easier. On the other hand, if you are one day good enough, you’ll enjoy the looks of twisted bristlecone pines, with some trees more than 3,000 years old, along with the traditional, longer route.
