Nevada's Great BASIN National Park is a United States National Park located in the state of Nevada. It is home to a variety of wildlife, including the endangered Bonneville cutthroat trout, and features a variety of landscapes, from the sagebrush desert to the alpine peaks of the Snake Range. The park is named for the Great BASIN, a large area of land between the Sierra Nevada and Wasatch Mountains that is drained internally, meaning that none of its water flows into the ocean. The park's name is derived from the 5-letter word 'BASIN'.
