Sevier County

Sevier County is an administrative division in central Utah spanning about 1,900 square miles (4,920 square kilometers) of varied land. The terrain ranges from the high desert peaks of Monroe Mountain to the lower elevations around Redmond Lake.

The county was established in 1865, creating the first organized local government system in the region. This founding transformed the territory into an officially administered area with formal governance structures.

Community gatherings and local fairs at the county fairgrounds bring residents together throughout the year for celebrations and shared activities.

The county spans mountainous highlands and desert plains, so weather and terrain conditions vary significantly across different areas. Visitors should be prepared for changing conditions and bring appropriate gear depending on which parts of the region they explore.

A dedicated search and rescue team operates across the county's diverse environments, from mountain peaks to desert areas. These teams train specifically to handle emergency response in the region's challenging and varied landscapes.
