Yes, the Great Basin Desert was once covered by a lush rainforest during the Eocene epoch, around 50 million years ago. During this period, the climate was significantly warmer and wetter, supporting diverse plant and animal life. Over time, geological and climatic changes led to the drying out of the region, resulting in the arid desert landscape we see today. Fossil evidence, including remnants of ancient trees and other vegetation, supports this historical transformation.
