It’s all happening in Kanab! Seriously – this place is home to so much incredible scenery and adventure it’s mind boggling!<\/p>\n\n\n

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:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

North Rim Grand Canyon<\/h4>\n\n\n

Simply stunning – beyond belief. Glad I finally made it here and glad it was worth the wait (and then some!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park<\/h4>\n\n\n

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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toroweap Overlook<\/h4>\n\n\n

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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indian Canyon Pictograph Trail<\/h4>\n\n\n

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 90\u00ba+ temperatures and we had to stay at the trail head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
