STS062-100-063 Colorado, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming, U.S.A. March 1994
Portions of Colorado, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming are discernible in this panoramic, east-northeast-looking, high-oblique photograph. Visible are the basin and range region of eastern Nevada; the north-south-trending, snow-covered Wasatch Range, west of which lie the Great Salt Lake and the Great Salt Lake Desert; and dry Sevier Lake, south of the Great Salt Lake Desert. The east-west-trending Uinta Mountains extend eastward from the Wasatch Range. The Yellowstone National Park area of northwest Wyoming and the Great Divide Basin to its south are apparent. Near the horizon, clouds overhang the Rocky Mountains.
