Rocky Mts.: Utah (USA)
Separating the Great Basin from the Western Prairies by ranges exceeding 3500 m, the Rocky Mountains are surrounded by dry continental forelands but trap a huge snowpack in winter. At less than two hours' driving distance from the Great Salt Lake, the mountains around the ski resort "Snow Bird" offer a lush alpine flora.
