Kanab, UT, Close to Parks, Far from Everything Else

Our Pet-Welcoming Tiny Kanab Airbnb

We arrived in downtown Kanab, UT, just over 4 pm. The Airbnb was a tiny studio with a full kitchen, a full bathroom, and a comfortable bed. However, there were no chairs or couches to sit on. We chose this place because it was one of the few available, affordable spaces that accepted pets and was close to the national parks in the area.
After unloading the car, we went to a local store to get some groceries. That was the first and last time we would buy anything there. For several reasons, we figured we would take the long, 60-mile drive to Hurricane—to the closest Walmart in the area—to get all the necessary groceries and fresh produce for the next two weeks.
Stretching Our Legs at Tom's Canyon

The next day, we stayed in Kanab and hiked the Tom’s Canyon Trail mainly to get out and stretch our legs. It was an easy hike with beautiful scenery along the way. The trail was well-maintained and well-marked. We turned around at the picnic area, deciding to skip the rocky final section of the trail.
After 2.5 hours and about seven miles, we were back in our studio. For the rest of the day, we worked on the itinerary for the upcoming two weeks.
