The study area consists of rugged bench and canyon country deeply dissected by
ephemeral streams.Landscapes in the WSA are characteristic of the scenic
geology of the Escalante River basin.The Twenty five Mile Wash Canyon and one
tributary canyon are entrenched and meandering, cut into red standstone, and
support riparian vegetation. The contrasts of colors and forms represent the
classic scenery of the Glen Canyon Escalante region.

Almost all of the area's southern boundary is the Glen Canyon National
Recreation Area. The southwestern boundary is the Croton Road and the
remainder of the western boundary is formed by coal exploration roads and
State lands in the Rogers Canyon and East of the Navajo areas. The northern
boundary is the Left Hand Collet Canyon road. To the east and below the
Straight Cliffs, the boundary is the Fiftymile Bench road to the Left Hand
Collet Road.The WSA is best known as a location for viewing the panoramas of
the lower Glen Canyon region. Features that can be viewed from the Fiftymile
Mountain WSA include Lake Powell, Navajo Mountain Rainbow Plateau, Glen
Canyon, and the Canyonlands of the Escalante River.Fiftymile Mountain is
unique in the sense that the plateau is the only island of green in the midst
of red and yellow Canyonlands and Lake Powell.
