Snake Valley is bounded on the west side by the Snake and
Deep Creek Ranges, tall mountain ranges extending over
12,000 feet tall and catching large amounts of snow that
allow perennial streams to flow down their flanks. The
mountains on the east side, the Fish Springs, Confusion,
Foote, and Conger Ranges, are lower in elevation, but no
less interesting due to the proliferation of fossils and
geologic strata that differ from their neighbors to the
west. The south end of Snake Valley is intersected by the
Needle Point and Mountain Home Range, with Hamlin Valley
smoothly flowing into the southwest part of Snake Valley.
As Snake Valley trends downhill, the northernmost part
simply fades into the massive salt flats known as the Great
Salt Lake Desert.
The principal communities in Snake Valley, from north to
south, are Callao, Trout Creek, Partoun, EskDale, Baker,
and Garrison.
