San Juan County, Utah

San Juan Location Map Utah

San Juan County is way down in Utah’s southeastern corner, bumping up against Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico. Ever heard of the Four Corners? It has a piece of that action.

This place is massive. It’s the largest county in Utah. But people? Not so much. It’s mostly wide-open spaces and jaw-dropping scenery. Monument Valley is here, those iconic red buttes you’ve seen in a million westerns. Visitors go nuts for places like Natural Bridges National Monument.

The San Juan River cuts through the landscape. Blanding is the biggest town. Native American culture runs deep here. It’s part of the Navajo Nation. And for the historians, there are ancient Ancestral Puebloan ruins scattered all over. It’s like stepping back in time.
