Special Features: The Fish Creek Range is a tilted fault block of sedimentary
rocks, and includes bedding plane faults visible in over 28,000 acres in the
central part of the WSA. Bald eagles, peregrine falcons, and golden eagles are
raptor species which inhabit the WSA. Sensitive species that may occur in the
WSA include the ferruginous hawk, long-billed curlew, and kit fox.

Fossil Mountain

Like most other mountain ranges in the Great Basin, the Confusion Range rises
abruptly above the surrounding desert valleys. The Range differs from other
Great Basin ranges in that the summit portion is almost a plateau, a hilly
upland with the steepest slopes on the eastern side. Fossil Mountain is one of
the more important locations in the world for early Ordovician fossils, and is
frequently visited by paleontologists and amateur collectors.

The Wah Wah Mountains WSA encloses a narrow, flat-topped mountain range with
steep, rugged sides. Bald eagles, peregrine falcons, and golden eagles are a
raptor species which inhabit the WSA. Sensitive wildlife species that could
inhabit the WSA include: the ferruginous hawk, long-billed curlew, burrowing
owl, and kit fox. Three sensitive plant species that may be found in the WSA
are the Cryptantha compacta, Eriogonum ammophilum, and Sphaeralcea caespitosa.
Bristlecone pine grows on about 190 acres in the higher parts of the WSA.
Bristlecones are rare in this area and those in the WSA are exceptionally
large, reaching heights of 50 feet or more. Bristlecone pines are among the
oldest living trees.

Sitting on the eastern edge of the Great Basin, Ibex is known as a world class
bouldering area by climbers. It is located in the Tule Valley, west of Delta
Utah. With its unique landscape, solid quartzite rock, mild winter
temperatures and rural location, Ibex is an amazing destination for climbers
looking to experience something extraordinary and different. It is not
uncommon at all to have Ibex all to yourself and the solitude you will find
adds to the experience. Ibex was discovered by climbers in the early nineties,
but did not become a destination until later in the decade when some of the
Salt Lake locals started developing the area.

The Desert Experimental Range is one of a few dozen ecologically unique areas
in the nation that have been set aside under international treaties for
research. This area is preserved as an example of Great Basin ecology, and
current studies are examining the interrelationship of humans and the land.
Particular focus is on shrub restoration and balancing rangeland vegetation
