They can endure the hot, dry desert conditions of the area. They are able to survive the area’s cold winters and cool summers. They are watered by the rainstorms that blow in from the Gulf of Mexico. The area’s high elevation allows them to grow tall. 3) “On the Colorado Plateau is Monument Valley, Arizona. There, mesas and buttes rise dramatically out of the earth.
