This appears to be Kukulcania utahana, though this genus has a few similar looking species that are close geographically, such as arizonica. It is not a tarantula, but they can get to around the size in the picture, and are pretty harmless (unless you are an insect).

Hi, welcome to Spider ID. Yes, this is a Kukulcania sp. (Crevice Weaver) and there are several similar species in the genus out west that are not easily distinguishable from an image.
