The best answer for a common or popular name would be the Intermountain Region. However, the general area includes the Great Basin (though not all of it is desert) and part of the Colorado River Basin.
The Great Basin
The Great Basin Desert is between the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Rocky Mountains.
Colorado does not contain the Sierra Nevada Mountains. These mountain ranges are located mainly in California while a portion called Carson Range lies in Nevada. Some mountains that are found in Colorado are Mount Sneffels and Mount Evans.
A section of the Mojave Desert is called the "Sierra Desert" because it extends to the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Nevada. It covers part of both California and Nevada.
There technically isn't a Sierra desert. A section of the Mojave is called "Sierra desert" because it extends to Sierra in Nevada. It spans over California and Nevada. High Sierra Desert is in California, while the rest of it goes into Nevada.
Sierra Nevada ~ Spanish for snowy range.
from the Spanish, first called Sierra Nevada meaning snowy range. Shortened to Nevada in 1861 separation from Utah
Unless you are speaking of something else, that is just a retaining wall in Sierra, Nevada.
