	Bryce Canyon National Park
		Following the edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau, Bryce Canyon National Park is eighteen mile long, up to five miles wide, and in place, 800 ft deep.
		Uneven pressures beneath the plateau caused it to break along fault lines into a series of smaller plateaus at different levels known as the "Grand Staircase." Bryce Canyon National Park occupies part of one of these plateaus - the Paunsaugunt.
		The Kanarra Cattle Company and several sheepmen used the plateau adjacent to Bryce for grazing in the early 1870s, but the first permanent settler in the area was Ebenezer Bryce, pioneer cattleman, who took up a homestead in the fall of 1875.

	Colorado Plateau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Colorado Plateau, also called the Colorado Plateaus Province, is a physiographic region of the Intermontane Plateaus, roughly centered on the Four Corners region of the southwestern United States.
		Occupying the southeast corner of the Colorado Plateau is the Datil Section.
		Some of the prominent isolated mountain ranges of the Plateau, such as Ute Mountain and the Carrizo Mountains, both near the Four Corners, are cored by igneous rocks that were intruded about 70 million years ago, during the Laramide orogeny.

		The Spread of Maize to the Colorado Plateau
		During the late Wisconsin, the climate of the plateau was significantly different in terms of mean annual temperatures and amount and seasonal distribution of the region's precipitation.
		A heavy spring snowpack over the plateau and southern Rockies may have prevented summertime heating and thermally-induced low pressure, and this, combined with a southerly jet stream and lower sea levels in the Gulfs of Mexico and California, may have inhibited the development of the Arizona monsoon during the Wisconsin period.

		Small pebbles and large Volkswagen bus sized boulders commonly fall from the sides of existing hoodoos and the sides of the Paunsaugunt Plateau by frost wedging and gravity.

	Your Guide To Paunsaugunt Mule Deer
		Utah's Paunsaugunt Plateau, which is in the southwest corner of the state, has attributes that will make any serious deer hunter salivate, not the least of which is that a lucky hunter who draws a permit to hunt there is virtually guaranteed a shot at a mule deer buck whose rack sports a 24-inch spread.
		The Paunsaugunt and the Henry Mountain units are what the DWR defines as premium wildlife management units.
