Wild and Free in
Kanab, Utah
Billions of years have shaped the layers of pastel and red sandstone that surround Kanab, Utah. From towering cliffs rising more than 2,000 feet in Zion National Park to acres of wind-swept pink sand across the basin floor of Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, this area still holds places imaginatively foreign to modern life.
The small town of Kanab, Utah sits smack dab in the middle of the classic American West and the wonder of existence is emphasized here. Like the wild desert flowers, Kanab vibrantly facilitates the arts, delicious cuisine, small town cowboy grit, and adventure travelers. Filmmakers have been drawn to this small town for more than a century. Located halfway between St. George and Lake Powell, Kanab is a gateway and basecamp for colossal vistas, Southern Utah’s national parks, and veins of deep slot canyons, including nearby Buckskin Gulch, one of the longest continuous slot canyons in the world. It is sexy, rustic, raw, and a trip of a lifetime. Come explore with Quiet Shelters' recommendations.
