Western Utah is covered with gigantic expanses of flat desert, punctuated by sudden, forested mountains. Its larger towns are all located in the extreme east of the region, near the more populated regions of Wasatch Front and Central Utah. Much of the region is off limits to the curious and the adventurous, as it is home to the Dugway Proving Grounds, an enormous military area which has been the object of not a few conspiracy/UFO theories. Travelers who do make it out to the far western desert will be rewarded mostly with solitude, but also some extreme (and potentially dangerous) desert wilderness backpacking opportunities. A tamer outdoors experience can be had at the region's most popular attraction, the Deseret Wilderness Area.
The two "main" desert roads heading into the remote west are US-6 from Delta and US-29 from Milford. They mostly just serve to take you further into nowhere, but you will be rewarded with some impressive, if monotonous, desert vistas. US-6, if you follow it far enough, will eventually get you to Great Basin National Park in Nevada.
'''Do not''' head far out into the desert without reserve water and gasoline. Expect to need a gallon of water per day per person in the event that an emergency situation develops.
