he Great Basin has no drainage outlet and is a vast desert interspersed with shrinking wetlands and mountain ranges.  The mountains include sedimentary rock formations and have higher precipitation than the surrounding deserts and are home to a wide variety of flora.

The most well-known mountain ranges for alpine plants are the Ruby Mountains and the Snake Range (Great Basin National Park) in Nevada and Steens Mountain in Oregon.
