Unnamed basin in the Virginia Range above my house, east of Washoe Valley. It actually has interior drainage and in wet winters accumulates a shallow lake--which doesn't persist over the summer! Looking north; that's Reno, Nevada, in the distant basin on the right; the high-rise is the Grand Sierra Hotel, by the airport. The mountain on the skyline to the left is Peavine Peak (8266 ft/2519 m). Local lore has it that you don't try to plant a garden until the snow is all melted off Peavine--typically mid-May or so.

In the eponymous state park in the eponymous town, Utah. The buildings are in the town--it's a small settlement right on I-70. Altho there is still a bit of irrigation agriculture in the area, the economy now mostly depends on the freeway. Looking upstream; the inset shows the downstream view, with the railroad bridge in the distance.
