Greetings Yair:
There is a mountain in eastern Nevada named Mount Moriah; it's over 12000
feet high.  In Utah, not only is there a River Jordan, but it runs out of a
fresh water lake and into the Great Salt Lake, which is very similar to the
Dead Sea.  There is also a Mount Nebo in Utah, approximately 12000 feet high.
