Wiki says:
Intermountain states
The intermountain states are generally considered to be Nevada, Utah,
Idaho south of the Salmon River, Arizona north of the Mogollon Rim,
and western Colorado and northwestern New Mexico west of the Rocky
Mountains.[4] The intermountain states are so named from having all or
portions between the Rockies, Sierras, and Cascades. The intermountain
states are included among states classified as the Mountain States.
