To the east, the Colorado Plateau�s flat-lying sedimentary rock is wondrously exposed in canyons, arches, and breaks. To the west is the immense Great Basin, a region characterized by rank upon rank of long, narrow, gaunt mountain ranges alternating with desert basins that are among the flattest surfaces on Earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRoadside Geology of Utah\u003c\/i\u003e�s 65 road guides traverse the state�s major thoroughfares as well as its dusty, sleepy, winding two-lane highways.
