2: The Land of Sleeping Mountains
Death Valley, the Great Salt Lake, volcanoes, silver mines, ghost towns, and nuclear test ranges are all part of the strange land called the Great Basin which lies between the Rocky Mountains and the spectacular Sierra Nevada in California.
The Indians believe that one day the sleeping mountains will awake and drive the white men from their land. Geologists say that major earthquakes are due, and a catastrophic eruption may occur in California's backyard, the Owens Valley.
Spectacularly successful in translating vast expanses of natural habitat to the small screen. (TIME OUT) Film cameraman MIKE HERD. Written and produced by MICHAEL ANDREWS
