Iron County, Utah
Iron County sits in southwestern Utah. The red rocks tell a story here. It has everything from desert valleys to alpine forests. The county got its name from the iron ore deposits found by Mormon settlers.
Cedar City, the county seat, is a cultural hub with its Shakespeare Festival. But step outside town and you’re in cowboy country. Ranchers still work the land like their great-grandparents did.
These days, tourism is big business. Hikers explore the slot canyons. Skiers hit the slopes at Brian Head. Iron County is where history and outdoor adventure collide.
