Located in Game Management Unit 72, this land is also known for its large Mule Deer that like to escape from human activity in the deep remote canyons. The rich desert grass that sustains the abundant wildlife also makes this land ideal for grazing cattle. Ranchers have been successfully raising cattle on this land since it was settled many years ago. The landscape consists of pinions, junipers, sage, sandstone outcroppings with rolling hills and several drainages. The Sleeping Ute Mountain towers over you and you can view Monument Valley to the east. Adventure awaits with this one-of-a-kind piece of land.
