Aquarius Plateau - Definition and Overview

The Aquarius Plateau is a physiographic region within Garfield and Wayne counties in south-central Utah. The plateau, an uplift on the much larger Colorado Plateau, is the highest in North America. It is over 900 square miles (2330 square kilometers) of mostly forested highland, much of which is part of Dixie National Forest.

The plateau includes Boulder Mountain which peaks at 11328 feet at Bluebell Knoll and has over 50,000 acres of rolling hilly terrain above 11,000 feet.
