Scenes from a trip to the Great Basin by Desert Companion Art Director Christopher Smith, who shot photos for an upcoming story about the area: striking autumnal color changes, above, and a look down the gullet of Lehman Caves, below. This is a great time to visit this east-central Nevada gem, he says. "I thought it would be colder, but it was really gorgeous."
The Great Basin -- it's such a great basin!
