释义
LaSal Mountains
mountains, Utah, United States
laccolithic segment of the Colorado Plateau, extending across San Juan and Grand counties in eastern Utah, U.S. Of volcanic origin, the peaks rise to Mount Peale (12,721 feet 【3,877 metres】), the highest point in the Colorado Plateau. The region is largely embraced by a division of the Manti-LaSal National Forest. The main economic activities are mining and lumbering. The Domínguez-Escalante expedition (see Silvestre Vélez de Escalante (Escalante, Silvestre Vélez de)) explored the region in 1776 and named the mountains the Sierra de la Sal for their abundant salt (Spanish sal) deposits.
