Hannah and her good friend Alex Heindl on the Timber Creek Trail.
While camping with friends in Great Basin National Park, we went on a couple of hikes including this great hike up Timber Creek and back down the South Fork of Baker Creek. The trail begins at the end of the Baker Creek Road.
In total it took us a little over three hours to hike 6 1/2 miles through some of the most beautiful country to be found anywhere in Nevada. For a fun video of this great hike taken by Hannah on her phone using an app called "relive", CLICK HERE.

Most of the hike up through Timber Creek was what you would expect, in the trees. But, as we neared the ridgeline before dropping down into the South Fork of Baker Creek it really opened up in these amazing alpine meadows where at any time you would expect to see wildlife grazing. It was midday so we didn't see anything, but no doubt this is home to elk and deer.

Great friends in beautiful country, it doesn't get any better than this.
Bob really enjoying this hike!

Near the end of our hike Hannah and Alex, feeling energetic, take a moment to reenact Robin Hood and Little John battling on the bridge. What fun!
This great 6 1/2 mile hike up Timber Creek and down the South Fork of Baker Creek is one we highly recommend!
