What makes Grand and San Juan counties in southeastern Utah less Republican than the rest of the state. Obama won Grand county in 2008 and got over 40% of the vote in both in 2012, which was a great showing for him compared to the rest of the state.

EDIT: Just read that San Juan has a large native American population, but it doesn't explain Grand County

Another interesting tidbit about these two counties. In 2004, San Juan county voted for Utah's gay marriage ban by a very wide margin while Grand county voted against it. So the two counties are more supportive of Democrats but maybe for different reasons.
