Dominated by the Colorado River corridor and red rock canyon landscapes including Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. The La Sal Mountains provide the only significant high elevation terrain, rising to over 12,000 feet above the surrounding desert.
Extremely limited agriculture consists of small irrigated hay fields along the Colorado River and minimal livestock grazing on scattered private lands. The arid desert environment and extensive public land ownership severely restrict agricultural development.
