Sirwinchester!!! Always an honor to have you stop by!! Thank you!!! :) Southern Utah has large areas of land dedicated to a tortoise reserve. they are abundant....in this area as three major deserts converge here. We see them on our trail hikes just outside the city limits here. here's a great website to learn more...about the trails and the conservation effort. It's called Red Cliffs Desert Reserve: http://www.redcliffsdesertreserve.com/
