Monticello

Tucked along the southern foothills of the Abajo Mountains in southeastern Utah, Monticello is a place whose character is shaped by high-desert elevation and mountain weather. At about 7,070 feet (2,155 metres), the town stands markedly cooler than much of the surrounding canyon country, with the forested Abajos rising to its north. Founded by Latter-day Saint settlers in 1887, Monticello is now the seat of San Juan County and a practical service centre on U.S. Route 191. Its streets connect the agricultural uplands with the red-rock country that defines much of southeastern Utah.
