kanab trailhead

During a 2 weeks tour of Utah & Arizona we spent 3 nights at Cathy's lovely and charming cottage in Kanab. We had the privilege to discover Slot Canyon with Cathy right after a flash flooding and it was amazing! First the drive there is breathtaking and Cathy is a very safe driver!!! And the Canyon is amazing, and quiet!! We were the only one there (unlike Antilope's canyon which we visited later on and which was packed!!!!) and Cathy knows the Canyon in and out, and spend time to show you all the changes that occurred following various floodings. It was one of the highlight of our trip and highly recommend both her cottage and the Slot canyon tour!! And to top it all Cathy is awesome! we'll definitely go back!

Great local hiking! Easy to find and marked trail. This isn't appropriate for beginners, but great fun for an in town hike with excellent views.

And to be honest, I am not sure which of them this is referring to, but if you are visiting our area, be sure to stop at the BLM or talk to a local. There are hikes that are free, hikes of all skill levels, hikes to slot canyons or along rivers or to the top of our surrounding landmarks, there are hikes in town and pretty far afield. The Kanab Trails Network is pretty extensive, but it doesn't seem to really appear in any guidebook I've ever seen, so there are tons of hidden gems, no matter what sort of hike you're looking to do. I highly recommend just stopping by our Bureau of Land Management office, located just south of town, near the fire hall, and asking them for suggestions. If they are closed when you're visiting, just ask around - not everyone here hikes, but a lot of us do, and even those who don't can probably point you in the direction of several options!

Beautiful scenery and great exercise. A good bang for your buck. Highly recommend this trail. Takes a couple of hours round trip.

This attraction is a bit confusing due to the reviews. It seems there are multiple trails being described in these reviews. ( all of which are probably awesome ).My fiance and I did a nice short hike called the Squaw Trail. This is located IN Kanab. The trail head is right behind the baseball fields in Jacob Hamblin Park. It is an established trail, so you will see a sign for it in the gravel lot and probably people walking their dogs on it(caution poop).It travels back into a small canyon type area, and then works its way up to the top. It does provide some nice views of Kanab. This trail is nice because you do not need much time to do it. Even if you have an hour of daylight left it is worth it.

My wife and I and two friends got caught up in the national parks closure (thanks to the dolts in Congress) during a long planned trip to St George to explore Zion and Bryce. Snow Canyon state park is a must see/do hike if you're staying in St George (avoid the trails in the upper end of the canyon shared with horsemen unless you like slogging moderately steep trails in 5" deep soft sand). We were referred to Cathy Church of Roads End Scenic Tours in Kanab (435-899-9864) to show us features of east Zion via her Jeep on unmarked roads, all requiring 4WD. We hiked a slot canyon to a safe length of about .6 mi., saw lots of wildlife, saw petroglyphs and ancient Indian dwellings, while gaining a geophysical appreciation of the area. She provided a cold lunch and was a very pleasant host. Cost per person for a 6 hour tour was $150. Very worthwhile. St George is a 2 hr 15 min drive from Kanab, so factor that into your day. There are 3 potential routes, one running thru Zion, which will add 10-15 min. to your travel time but with spectacular views (you will need your park pass or be nicked a fee to drive thru - with the park closure, the state highway was open for us but all park facilities were closed).

This was recommended to me by a motel clerk. It was a little steeper then what I was expecting with some steep dropoffs on the trail. Not even close to scary as Angels landing thou. I was told it gets you up to the TV towers overlooking the city. The trail disappeared in the sand hills above the cliffs and I didn't want to get lost up there as it was getting close to getting dark. I would recommend if you want to get some excercise and get a view overlooking the little town of Kanab. Lot's of Redrock cliffs as you zig zag up swithbacks to the top of the 400 feet or so first cliff and then up to the top of the Mesa.

Paid $6 per adult. Walked easy trail 1.5 mile to canyon. The slot canyon is spectacular. I have never seen anything like it. I understand why they say not to go if there is any chance of rain. You would be in extreme danger if a flood came through. In November the weather was perfect. It was a beautiful blue sky against amazing red rocks. It is a photographers dream.

For the first time ever, I climbed to the midway of Squaw Trail and took some beautiful photos of Kanab from my perch. I want to go back, only this time I will take a walking stick.

last visit ended up on privateproperty. found trail at end ofgolf coarse which was great fun and kid friendly.)

Kanab is a totally unique little town. You gotta love it. It's definitely in the "Rock Stars" Club (meaning it sits shoulder to shoulder with many of the best geologic sites), is known as the Little Hollywood of the West, and annually offers more nifty unique festivals and events like Amazing Earthfest, Western Legends etc. It is also home to some really really neat trails...a number being known only to locals altho' a morning expresso at Willow Canyon will usually gain you a willing local who will take you to a life sized rock art panel etc. The Trailhead is one of these neat gems, leads you into a lovely hiking region that changes with the weather so is constantly fascinating. Recommended.

This is a great trail easily accessible from a trailhead on the east side of town. You climb past large rocks overlooking the city and curve north to the top of a minor peak. Great views, moderate difficulty. Have good shoes/boots.

My husband and I, along with our two teenage daughters, just spent a week sight-seeing in the Grand Canyon area and southern Utah. The highlight of our trip was a day with Will at Dreamland Safari Tours. Will, along with his staff, took us off-road on a tour of the Grand Staircase/Escalante National Monument. He provided local knowledge of the history and ecology of the sites we visited. Our daughters' favorite part of the day was hiking the slot canyons, while my husband and I enjoyed photographing the amazing and picturesque scenery. Our entire family enjoyed the impromptu flute concert by Virgil (guide), which he performed in a canyon that provided exceptional natural acoustics. We appreciated the way Will adapated his tour to accomodate our schedule. Highly recommended!!!

Канаб представляет из себя достаточно маленький городок. Но из всего списка достопримечательностей здесь можно воспользоваться различными трэйлами. Один из низ мы попробовали на себе и ни капли не пожалели. Если у вас есть вечером часа 3, то советую вам подняться на одну из скал, с высоты которой открывается вид на Канаб и на все плато. Он называется Squaw Trail. Подниматься по тропинке часа 2, по пути вам будут встречаться столбики с номерами очередности пути, что позволит не заблудиться.Можно даже успеть на закат, зрелище захватывающее. Возьмите с собой теплую кофту, на вершине дует сильный ветер.
