Intermountain states
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The intermountain states (also Intermountain West and the Great Basin) of the United States of America are generally considered to be Utah, Idaho, and Nevada. The intermountain states are so named because they lie between (or at least amidst) the Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevada and the Cascades. Large areas of these states are less mountainous than typical of the Rocky Mountain region. The intermountain states are included among those states considered as the Mountain States.
