Nevada Landscape As Seen From Great Basin National Park

Basin and range landscape of dry beige hills and rugged mountains in the background as seen from Great Basin National Park

Great Basin National Park is surrounded by basin and range landscape. "The Basin and Range region is the product of geological forces stretching the earth's crust, creating many north-south trending mountain ranges. These ranges are separated by flat valleys or basins. These hundreds of ranges make Nevada the most mountainous state in the country."

What a beautiful picture! I'll be visiting Great Basin (for the first time) in late October and I'm so excited! I'm also looking forward to visiting Lehman Cave too.
