Well now you do. :-)

The entire desert region of the Great Basin in the US looks virtually identical to that place, right down to very fresh evidence of volcanic and geological activity. It is the exact same kind of rocks and mountain formations, and you can't swing a dead cat out there without finding a hot sulfur vent, boiling acid pit, lava tubes, steam vents, thousands of tiny volcanos and cinder cones, and all manner of related things. I'll run across several of examples of these in a day of off-roading through the mountains of the Nevada desert. You have to be careful, because you don't see some of these things until you are practically on top of them (like sinkholes full of boiling sulfuric acid). This part of CONUS is actually the most geologically active part of it, though not enough people live out there to notice.
