A screenshot from Supercharge.info showing the upcoming Ely, Nevada station . As you can see, it's going to be a lonely station in the network, but open up a big area to EVs.
This changing way of seeing the land didn’t happen all at once. Places like Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon got some protection first, and that protection has increased over time. More and more places got designated as state and national parks over the decades, along with monuments, historic parks, seashores, and more.
For decades, Lehman Caves National Monument had protected some caves in the Snake Range, but eventually most of the range was protected either as a national park or a wilderness area. Visitor numbers are still pretty low compared to places like the Grand Canyon and Yosemite, but the park’s mountain greenery from which you can see vast swaths of desert floor is attracting more and more people.
