Wasatch Mtns, E edge of Basin-Range

The eastern edge: Mt. Timpanogos, in the Wasatch Range of Utah. Mt. Timpanogos is the second highest peak of the Wasatch Range, at an elevation of 11749'. The Wasatch Range rises along the Wasatch fault, which is an active fault, and so poses a significant earthquake hazard to the Salt Lake City region. As evidence of recent faulting, two wineglass canyons can be seen behind the fault on the right side of the photo. (ID: 477-89)

View north to Salton Sea, CA

View of the Salton Sea and Imperial Valley of California, view northward. The San Andreas takes a right step when it reaches the Salton Sea; transfer of the strain from one part of the fault to the other has caused the area between to be pulled apart. That area is now filled in by the Salton Sea. (ID: 100128-85)
