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.

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.

In the Crystal Peak area you can find very small white quartz crystals.

Crystal Peak

An arid mountain range filled with geologic wonders. Notch Peak is the third
largest vertical drop in North America. Travel to the top of the world up
Amasa Valley and see both the Tule Valley and White Valley. Deer hunting is
popular. Hike into the canyon to see an authentic old hermit`s cabin.
Bristlecone pine abound in the high country. There are no accomodations but
dispersed camping is available throughout. Take Marjum Pass through the Howell
Peak to the north and the Sawtooth Mountains to the south. Great rockhounding
in the Antelope Springs trilobite beds.
