Most of Utah's northeastern corner - due east of Salt Lake City, as Wyoming takes a bite out of its otherwise perfect rectangle - is taken up by the forbidding Uinta Mountains , very much of a piece with the rest of the Rockies. However, to the east of the mountains the terrain reverts to the classic Southwestern desert plains, with the small town of Vernal serving as the base for explorations of the wildernesses of Flaming Gorge and Dinosaur .
