| Lightly populated Central Utah contains rugged red rock deserts and forested highlands.
The rugged and starkly beautiful canyon desert area covers most of the eastern
portion of this region. The Green River cuts through it from north to south providing
some mild whitewater rafting opportunities. The San Rafael Swell features some
of the best scenery and is the most easily accessed area.
As you move west, the canyon desert landscape gives way to forested highlands
of rolling hills, alpine meadows and small lakes. Of note is the Wasatch Plateau
and Tushar Mountains which both offer nice scenic drives and hiking, mountain
biking and fishing opportunities.
