The Desert Speaks

Crossing the Great Basin Desert

Part of the reason it is so lonely is that it crosses the Great Basin Desert. During the trip across the basins and over the ranges that make up this landscape, The Desert Speaks studies the fascinating geology that is key to understanding the region and its natural and human history. Take a ride into the past and board a steam-powered train, crucial to the settlement of the area.
