About

Imported description
This WSA is characterized by rugged terrain and steep cliffs. Shrubs and grasses are the dominant vegetation at lower elevations with pinyon-juniper woodland at higher elevations. The area is known in Utah and throughout the country for its beds of Cambrian trilobites. In addition, Council Cave, near Antelope Peak, has the largest entrance of any cave in Utah, and can be visible for 50 miles.
