The above websites cover the county history, government offices, public health (ex. Immunization Clinic schedules), emergency telephone numbers, job listings & more. We are on Mountain Standard Time (MST) all year, therefore we don’t observe daylight savings time. The Navajo Reservation just to the north of us observes daylight savings.
