Voted 10/10 | Looks good, especially the overview and history of the area. | |

Hasn't voted | If this page covers the Great Basin, consider attaching Fool Peak, Frary Peak, Flat Top Mountain, Lowe Peak, and Bull Mountain. | |

| MOCKBA | how much of Great Basin? | |
Hasn't voted | I wasn't sure what was the scope of the now-defunct Western Utah page from the early v2 taxonomy effort. I kind of figured, too much of a stretch may be labelled a turf grab LOL. The Oquirrhs are a Great Basin range but IMO no desert. Frary and Silver Island are already included in the Northern Utah area page. This leaves Fool Peak possibly? Would it be more logical together with Fishlake, Wasatch Plateau maybe, that sort of Central Utah stuff? I'll take your word. Then speaking of Great Basin further West, I may attach Snakes and Shells as "related". Maybe Silver Island too? What do you think? | |

Hasn't voted | The Oquirrhs are a Great Basin range but IMO no desert. True, but I would consider the Stansbury and especially Deseret Peak to be more alpine and less desert than the Oquirrhs. Maybe the Deep Creeks too, though they are surrounded by desert. Frary and Silver Island are already included in the Northern Utah area page. To me it makes more sense to include them on the West Desert/Great Basin page since that is the pysisiological province they belong too. I'm not even sure why the "Northern Utah" page exist. It has no physical boundaries and is contrived and illogical. The page supposedly eliminates the Wasatch, but includes the subranges of the Wasatch, and has no logical southern bounday, in a geographic sense?? Parts of it are pieces of the Great Basin and parts are pieces of the Rocky Mountains. I don't get that page at all. Personally, I think it just confuses things. This leaves Fool Peak possibly? Would it be more logical together with Fishlake, Wasatch Plateau maybe, that sort of Central Utah stuff? Canyon Range (which Fool Peak is a part of) is in the Great Basin Desert. Usually I hear the boundary between the "West Desert" and "High Plateaus" as approximately I-15, though it isn't definate since that is a man made feature, and geography always takes precidence. Then speaking of Great Basin further West, I may attach Snakes and Shells as "related". Maybe Silver Island too? What do you think? Silver Island for sure. I guess the Schells and Snakes would be realted, but not part of "Utah Western Desert Ranges". | |

| MOCKBA | Still not sure about Fool Creek and Signal | |
Hasn't voted | and the reason is, they need a completely different Getting-to, Red Tape, and of course History sections. Same about Frary, which also needs a special Wildlife section. I am not really going to include Bingham Canyon or Iron Mission stories here - they deserve their own place. I guess I'd rather keep it more compact, limit it by an imaginary line South of US 6, and maybe separate out the Stansburies in the future. | |

Hasn't voted | I guess I'd rather keep it more compact, limit it by an imaginary line South of US 6, and maybe separate out the Stansburies in the future Personally, I have to admit that I don't really like it, but this is just my opinion. Same problem as the "Northern Utah" Page. No definate boundaries, and it can create confusion. I guess do what you must, but I believe Area/Range Pages should be more about geography instead of contrived such as "Northern Utah", "Central Utah", "Western Utah", etc. I believe it much better to have such pages as "Great Basin" House Range", "Wasatch Mountains", "Deep Creek Mountains", or maybe even a national Park such as "Zion NP and vicinity", etc, because they are easer to define and search. It may be just my personal opinion though, and perhaps try asking on the Southwest Board. What may work, is having the other person call his page "West Desert/Great Basin-Northern Section" and this one "West Desert/Great Basin-Central Section" with boundaries at I-80 and Highway 50/6, but I don't know. With the way it is named now, Frary Peak, etc. definately should be attached since they are certainly in the West Desert. | |

| lcarreau | What ?? | |
Voted 10/10 | I couldn't believe I missed voting on this excellent mountain page! Were you able to add Grassy Mountain to this page. I was just wondering where it was located. Awesome page, Dmitry! | |

Voted 10/10 | Larry, there isn't a page for Grassy at this time. I've offered to help MikerHiker put a page up since he really knows the area but the way to get to it is to head west from SLC toward Wendover and take exit 62 and head north about ten miles. More info will be forthcoming (hopefully). Dean | |
