It’s all happening in Kanab! Seriously – this place is home to so much incredible scenery and adventure it’s mind boggling!
The Jakester and I arrived on Monday as did our old friends Dan & Maggie Matheson and Dan’s brother John. He’s a summary of the activities so far:
North Rim Grand Canyon
More intimate than the more majestic South Rim
Zion
Simply stunning – beyond belief. Glad I finally made it here and glad it was worth the wait (and then some!)
Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park
The ‘other side’ meaning adventure. Like White Sands you can ‘sandboard’ the dunes. Unlike White Sands you can also explore by dune buggy or ATV. Looked like a lot of fun. The Jakester could not take the heat the sand!
Toroweap Overlook
A long drive along a dirt and rocky road (thanks Dan!) reveals fantastic views of the canyon. We went late in the afternoon to catch the sunset – incredible!
Indian Canyon Pictograph Trail
Near Coral Pink Sand Dunes, Dan drove a soft sand road to a trail head for photos of thousand year old pictographs. Unfortunately, the Jakester’s paws could not take the 90º+ temperatures and we had to stay at the trail head.
Today we start our continuing excellent adventure heading for Dinosaur. We had a great time with Dan, Maggie and John and really fell in love with the Kanab area. We will be back I am sure!
