Glen Canyon National Recreation Area dominates this section of the Colorado Plateau, where the Colorado River carves its way through the formidable corridors of Narrow Canyon and Cataract Canyon. The landscape is defined by massive sedimentary formations and high desert mesas, including the prominent Red Benches and The Block. Water management and transportation are central to the area's geography, evidenced by the presence of Lake Powell and the isolated Hite Airport near the Garfield and San Juan county line.
