Iron County is a study in contrast—from the arid Escalante Desert and Great Basin ranges in the west to the meadows and forests of the High Plateaus on the east. The Escalante Desert now goes by the name Escalante Valley, reflecting the irrigated hay, small grains, and potatoes grown there.
The colorful formations of Cedar Breaks National Monument, a kind of miniature Bryce Canyon, creases the Markagunt Plateau.
Brian Head mountain (11,307 feet), named for a profile that resembles William Jennings Bryan, rises abruptly behind Iron County's major string of settlements. The high mountains capture precipitation from passing westerlies, and this snow and rain feed the headwaters of the Sevier River.
Iron County has a more balanced and broadly based economy than most of rural Utah. Located on Interstate 15, Cedar City is 500 miles from Los Angeles, 180 miles from Las Vegas, and 260 miles from Salt Lake. It’s also about midway between L.A. and Denver via I-70.
