Irish Canyon Wilderness is a relatively small, remote and highly scenic canyon. Twelve of the twenty-two geological formations found in the eastern end of the Uintah Mountains occur here.

The beginning of the canyon is not more than 50 yards wide with steep walls with layers of red, green, and gray. Outlaws such as Butch Cassidy and Wild Bunch, Matt Warner, Isom Dart and others spent time in the Browns Park vicinity at the turn of the century.

Irish Canyon is designated as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) for its outstanding scenery, rare plant communities and geology. This semi-arid country supports sagebrush and pinion-juniper woodlands with several rare plant communities. Summers are generally warm and dry with cool nights. Elevations range from 6100 to 8636 feet.
