Straight Cliffs dominate the southwestern horizon of this landscape, marking the dramatic edge of the Kaiparowits Plateau. This high-desert region is defined by a series of massive benches and canyons within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The terrain transitions from the broad expanses of Sooner Bench and Fiftymile Bench into deep erosional features like Willow Gulch and Fortymile Gulch.
