The Intermountain West, or Intermountain Region, is a geographic and geological region of the Western United States. It is located between the Rocky Mountains on the east and the Cascade Range and Sierra Nevada on the west.
The Intermountain West has a basin and range and plateau topography. Some of the region's rivers reach the Pacific Ocean, such as the Columbia River and Colorado River. Other regional rivers and streams are in endorheic basins and cannot reach the sea, such as the Walker River and Owens River. These flow into brackish or seasonally dry lakes or desert sinks.
Portions of this region include:
The climate of the Intermountain Region is affected by location and elevation. The sub-regions are in rain shadows from the Cascade or Sierra Nevada ranges that block precipitation from Pacific storms. The winter weather depends on latitude. In the southern portion, winters are shorter, warmer and have less winter precipitation and snow. In the northern portion, winters are cold and moist. All areas have hot summers. North American Monsoon storms can occur in the region during the mid-summer, coming northeast from the Pacific Ocean and Mexican Plateau.
West is a noun, adjective, or adverb indicating direction or geography. West is one of the four cardinal directions or compass points. It is the opposite of east and is perpendicular to north and south.
The word "West" is a Germanic word passed into some Romance languages (ouest in French, oest in Catalan, ovest in Italian, oeste in Spanish and Portuguese). As is apparent in the Gothic term vasi (Visigoths), it stems from the same Indo-European root that gave the Sanskrit vas-ati (night) and vesper (evening) in Latin.
To go west using a compass for navigation, one needs to set a bearing or azimuth of 270°.
West is the direction opposite that of the Earth's rotation on its axis, and is therefore the general direction towards which the Sun appears to constantly progress and eventually set.
Moving continuously west is following a circle of latitude.
The phrase "the West" is often spoken in reference to the Western world, which includes Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the European Union, and the United States of America.

Interstate 11 is a new superhighway currently under construction, serving the metro areas of Las Vegas, NV and Phoenix, AZ, as well as the entirety of the CANAMEX corridor. But the question remains, though - where exactly is it going? Five American States, One Mexican State, and One Canadian Province are all going to ultimately involved with this new limited-access freeway serving the Intermountain West of the United States and beyond.

Presented by Sarina Jepsen, Endangered Species Program Director, The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation. February 28, 2016. Though most are familiar with the large populations of monarchs in the eastern US that travel to Mexico each fall, monarchs in the western US – including those that migrate annually to the California Coast – have received far less attention. In the western US, the Xerces Society is working to identify, protect, manage, and restore monarch breeding and overwintering habitat through conducting and engaging citizen scientists in applied research, developing habitat management technical guidance, and advocacy. This webinar will provide an overview of the biology, life history, and conservation status of monarchs in the western US, including factors that may be...

The lands managed by the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest have a diverse history. For perhaps 15,000 years this area was home to Native Americans who made their living by hunting and gathering, with one known brief episode of horticulture. By the time of white settlement in this area, the ancestors of the first Americans were organized into groups historically known as the Ute, Goshute, and the Northwestern Shoshone. As Euro-Americans moved west, Free Trappers scoured the mountains and valleys for the furs that fueled the early frontier economy, which in time had a global economic impact. Beginning in the 1840's, the area served as the anchor point for pioneers belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS), as they settled throughout the Great Basin and the Intermou...

Brookings Mountain West Lecture Series. Adele Morris - October 8, 2013.
Helen Mayer and Newton Harrison of the Center for the Study of the Force Majeure and Lauren Bon of the Metabolic Studio are beginning a collaboration that will deploy paleogeographic, contemporary, and prophetic mapping of the Intermountain West to research what might be the best outcomes for the region in light of global warming and resource extraction. Their collective question for this “work at scale” is how to intervene to meet survival needs of the Intermountain West during rapid catabolic descent.
