The Southwestern United States features a semi-arid to arid climate, depending on the location. Much of the southwest is an arid desert climate,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] but higher elevations in the mountains in each state, with the exception of West Texas, feature alpine climates with very large amounts of snow. The metropolitan areas of Phoenix, Tucson, Las Vegas, Albuquerque, and El Paso hardly ever receive any snow at all, as they are strictly desert lands with mountains. However, the metro areas of Reno, Salt Lake City, Denver, and Colorado Springs can receive significant snowfalls. Although, the snow in this region of the United States melts rapidly, often before nightfall. Nevada, Arizona, and Utah are all generally arid with desert lands and mountains, and receive large amounts of snow in the higher elevations in and near the mountains. New Mexico and Colorado are both generally arid, with desert lands, mountains, and high plains in the far eastern parts of each state. They both receive decent amounts of snow, and large amounts of snow in the high elevations in the mountains. Although some areas in far southwestern and southern New Mexico do not receive much snow at all. West Texas is generally arid as well, but does not receive the same amount of snow that the other southwestern states receive at their high elevations. The terrain of the West Texas region in the southwest is flat rolling land of the plains, which eventually turns into a desert with some hills,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and there are mountains as well once you reach the El Paso area.
The term "High Desert" is also synonymous with this region. The High Desert is generally defined as the desert lands found in El Paso, the? Mojave Desert? (which extends into southern Nevada), and the? Great Basin Desert. The Great Basin Desert is defined as the desert lands in Nevada, western Utah, as well as southern California. The High Desert also extends into parts of the? Northwest, in southern Oregon, southeastrn Idaho, and southwestern Wyoming. The High Desert is much different than the general desert lands found in Arizona, south New Mexico, and west Texas. This area of the desert land generally sits at a very high elevation, much higher than the normal desert land, and can receive very cold temperatures at night in the winter (with the exception of California and southern Nevada), sometimes near zero degrees on very cold nights. The High Desert also receives a decent amount of snowfall in the winter (with the exception of California and southern Nevada), but melts very quickly.
Other areas of the southwest may also be referred to as the "High Desert". Such as, the desert lands found in eastern Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. Eastern Utah has a huge mass of desert land, which sits at a high elevation, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and is sometimes referred to as the "High Desert" as well. Colorado has scattered desert lands found in southern,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], southwestern, western, and the far northwestern parts of the state.
