Description
A spectacular sky lights up as the sun drops behind a mountain range in the Great Basin Desert.
The Great Basin Desert is the largest desert in the United States, covering most of Nevada and parts of Utah, Oregon, Idaho, and California. Bordered by the Sierra Nevada range on the west and the Wasatach Mountains of Utah on the east, it covers about 190,000 square miles north from the Mojave and Sonoran deserts. It is characterized by wide valleys bordered by parallel mountain ranges. The desert is a cold desert due to its northern latitude and elevations that are most commonly in the 4,000 to 6,000 foot range.
