Iron County

The terrain of Iron County ranges from basin-and-range desert in the west to forested high plateaus along the eastern edge, creating pronounced climatic and visual contrasts. Cedar Valley centres on Cedar City, the county seat and a regional hub, while the Markagunt Plateau rises eastward and includes Cedar Breaks National Monument. Its vast natural amphitheatre was carved into colourful rock by erosion, and nearby Brian Head is a major mountain recreation area. Cedar City was founded in 1851 around a Mormon ironworks venture; today, the Utah Shakespeare Festival is a leading annual arts event.
