Day 10 - Bryce Canyon City to Kanab

Leaving behind beautiful Bryce Canyon, we headed west and North to take in some more mountain views and then visit a part of Zion National Park that isn't quite as well known as the rest of Zion Canyon.
The Kolob Canyons is in the northwest corner of the park, without any kind of road connecting the two parts. This high canyonland is punctuated on the east side by 5 high peaks opening onto a wide plateau to the South with views to the mountains on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, over 100 miles away. Beautiful views along an ascending hike offered different glimpses of those different peaks, peering into their box canyons.
From there, we headed south and then east, skirting Zion's border, and travelling into Northern Arizona, before going north into Kanab. Kanab is an old movie town, and our hotel was host to many Hollywood types from the 30s to the 60s. Home to multiple western movies and tv series of the era, the hotel, while comfortable, has pretty much relied on its quaintness, and probably up until recently, being the only game in town. But there's now a lot of competition with more being built, so I have a feeling they'll need to up their game soon.Read more
