We live in one of the coolest areas in the United
States. During your visit to Best
Friends it would be worth it to take an afternoon to one of the national parks. Click
here to get great information about things to see and do in and around
Kanab, Utah. There were many movies
filmed here in Kanab and you can visit the old Gunsmoke movie set. If you are flying into Las Vegas you can take a shuttle to St. George, rent a car and drive the hour and a half to Kanab or just rent a car in Las Vegas and drive the 3.5 hours to Kanab. I've taken the shuttle many times but I have not rented a car in St. George. I have also flown from Houston, Texas to Page, Arizona and had someone pick me up in Page. It is only an hour and fifteen minutes from Kanab and there is a car rental right at the airport. The code for Page airport is PGA. There is no bus service or taxi service in Kanab but there is a car rental. If you are coming for a workshop at Best Friends it might be possible to car pool to Kanab and rent additional cars when you arrive.
If you are like me and need to workout every day to be...nice...we have a great fitness center called Adobe Fitness.
Zion
National Park is one of my favorite parks and it is 30 miles from
Kanab. It is beautiful and has many
hikes.

Bryce
Canyon is about 79 miles from Kanab. It is amazing and has crazy rock
formations. It is usually a bit cooler
than Kanab so it is a nice summer day trip.

The North Rim of the Grand Canyon is
also 79 miles from Kanab. It is
spectacular and has a nice lodge to eat at. Toroweap is also a great way to see the Grand Canyon.
The Coral Pink Sand Dunes are really close to Best Friends and
are worth a visit. There is also the Grand Staircase
Escalante National Monument as well as the following nearby.
Lake Powell is in Page Arizona which is 75 miles from Kanab
and it is beautiful. The blue water
against the red rocks is stunning. You
can swim at Lone Rock or take a half or full day river ride. Antelope Point is also a really neat slot
canyon tour.
