You don't actually buy into the myths the trappers in the Utah area tried to spread to keep settlers out do you? Sure, some parts are fairly inhospitable, but there are large portions that have always been good farmland, and most areas can be turned into such with even minimal irrigation.

The part I live in has quite a bit of farmland, but looks remarkably like many of the more mountainous areas of the middle east.
