Home About Utah Utah's Capital
While researching Utah for this project, I found a web page that just really inspired me. This Red Rock Country page is not only the site of much natural beauty, but also contains interesting geological and historical information about the Colorado Plateau region of southern Utah. The author describes a triangle which he calls the "Red Rock Country". And, because I could not describe it any better, here are the author's words:
The very heart of RRC (Red Rock Country) is Southern Utah. You can encompass the majority, and certainly the most beautiful portion of RRC by drawing a line from Moab in East Central Utah, to Canyon De Chelly in Northeastern Arizona, to the Grand Canyon, to Zion NP in Southwestern Utah, and back to Moab. In that modest "triangle", allowing for a bulge here and there, you will encompass six national parks (Canyonlands, Arches, Capital Reef, Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and Zion) and numerous national and state monuments (Grand Staircase, Cedar Breaks, Lake Powell, Natural Bridges, Antelope Slot Canyon, Coral Pink Sand Dunes, Kodachrome Basin, and Dead Horse Point); nowhere else in the US, probably the world, will you encounter so much extreme and haunting beauty.
Most of the pictures have been brought to you, with appreciation, from the Red Rock Country web site. Some other sites I found helpful in researching this subject included:
