FIFTYMILE MOUNTAIN WILDERNESS STUDY AREA

This WSA is bounded by the Straight Cliffs on the east, and numerous southwest draining canyons on the west. Fifty Mile Mountain WSA is high elevation island of pinyon-juniper woodland with aspen stands overlooking the sandstone expanse of southern Glen Canyon country, Lake Powell and Navajo Mountain. The Pinyon/Juniper woodland of Fifty Mile Mountain continues to reveal many new scientific insights into the fire history of this important habitat.
