A Quick Look at Kanab

 

We had an extra day before we were heading to Lake Powell so we decided to check out Kanab.  The visitor center was open so we started there. The gentleman working there was a wealth of knowledge and identified the things one should see while in Kanab! 

We wandered across the street to check out the Historic Parry Lodge.  This lodge is known as the heart of Utah’s “Little Hollywood” and we could see why. Looking at all the pictures displayed in the lobby and the restaurant you have to ask yourself what movie hasn’t been made there. The first date is 1924 with Deadwood Coach and the last one in 2006, Outlaw Trail: The Treasure of Butch Cassidy.

There were many television series made in the area as well.  A couple I am sure you have heard of or even watched are Lassie and The Lone Ranger.

From the Parry Lodge we went to the Movie Museum. It was pretty cool with some of the sets from the movies that were made in the area including The Outlaw Josie Wales.

On the way back to the RV park we stopped at the Moqui Cave. It is filled with great artifacts and history of the area.

The last picture is of a new birth at the park. This little cutie was born early Saturday (May 11)morning and was up and running around by the early afternoon. Pretty amazing considering I couldn’t walk until age, well I still can’t!
