Basin and Range National Monument: What it is, where it is, and why we care.
This 13-minute video is a version of a slideshow I use for talks about Basin and Range. It provides a good overview of the area and why it was created.

Great overview, thanks!
excellent. Well done!
I really enjoyed this video. Thankyou for sharing. It is a very amazing place. Access is somewhat tricky, but worth finding. Mt. Irish Archeological Site, and White River Narrows were incredible.
Excellent presentation!
Nice presentation on Basin and Range. I would just like to add that as you showed the rock house built near the old site of Camp Logan you did not have much info on the house. The house was built by my grandfather, Thomas Theron Schofield, of Las Vegas, NV. He started the project in the late 1950's. I helped him remodel it in 1968. Tom grew up in Hiko, NV and was a prospector in the area for many decades.Robert Schofield, Carson City, NV
The Great Basin refers to the fact that all streams flow into a basin, not the sea--they evaporate. This has NOTHING to do with the Basin&Range province, which refers to the stretching of the crust, the tilting of the fault blocks, and the formation of these parallel basin-range-basin-range-basin-range. That these b&r exist in the Great Basin is a coincidence.
There’s always neat stuff everywhere in the USA
I would rather see the uninterrupted landscape as opposed to an artists desire for validation. Real art doesn't destroy one type of beauty to replace it with a monument to an artist's ego. And I'm an artist myself. Thanks for destroying what was a pristine view, I mean, wow, what a statement!
