I have taken too many pictures when traveling over the years but this has stood as one of my highest favorites since i took it, for a couple reasons:
1) There's numerous examples of more dramatic and impressive mountains/rock formations but this captures the beauty of what a valley can be too. And it is such a pristine valley, totally uninterrupted and sweeping into a basin-like shape.
2) It's a lovely representation of the landscapes across the entire Great Basin. This is textbook Nevada, a perfect example of a region that is both very flat and very mountainous at the same time. I love how this one photo can represent the character of such a large region.
