Kanab - Kanab RV Corral, UT
Travelogue
If you've ever watched old westerns in the movies or on TV, you've probably seen Kanab. The rugged scenery surrounding Kanab has been used so often as a Hollywood set for westerns that it is the image that probably most of America has of the "Wild West."
They're really into the cowboy thing here--even our campground in town was called an RV "corral." Although we were corralled in pretty close to our fellow RVers, it really was a very nice campground with one of the nicest campground pools I've ever experienced. We spent the afternoon lounging around the pool, planning our next day assault on Lake Powell.
Description
Kanab's location on U.S. 89 in Southern Utah makes it a popular stopover for people traveling to the Grand Canyon, Bryce, Zion, and Lake Powell, which are all within an hour and a half drive.
The beautiful scenery surrounding the small town of Kanab has made it the site of more than 150 western movies and TV series, such as Gunsmoke, The Lone Ranger, and F Troop. However, since most of the sets are located on private land, they are somewhat difficult to visit.
Go to Best Friends animal Sanctuary in Kanab and visit 100's of rescued animals. Adopt one!! :)
