We drove nearly four hundred miles from the base of the eastern slope of California’s Sierra Nevada Mountain Range to the far eastern side of Nevada as our car cut across a small piece of the immense desert known as the Great Basin. This vast expanse of barrenness covers the greater part of Nevada, half of Utah, and slices of California, Oregon, Idaho, and Wyoming. Our destination—Great Basin National Park—provided a remote oasis amid the arid, dusty, and parched land.
