Great Basin region in the western United States between the Sierra Nevada & Wasatch Range including most of Nevada and parts of California, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and Oregon and having no drainage to the ocean; contains many isolated mountain ranges (the Basin Ranges). The ecosystem is unique, ranging from desert through lush meadows and glacial lakes to arcticalpine tundra. Sagebrush, manzanita, and shrub-like juniper grow on the valley floor; aspen, mountain mahogany, pine, spruce, and fir on the mountain slopes; and alpine plants above the tree line. The most unique feature of the Great Basin is the bristlecone pine,
Pinus
Longaeva, some specimens of which are more than 4000 years old, the oldest living things on the planet.
