This is just a small sampling of what is around Kanab, Utah. Kanab is considered the hub of all these special areas you see in these photos. For such a small town of just around 5,000 people, there are 15 major hotels here in this town that try to house all the tourists that come to this town. In the tourist season, it is very difficult to get a room in any of these hotels. All of these sites here are just a short distance from this town. It is amazing that this town sits right in the middle of all these sites. This town deserves to be highlighted as a town for PHOTOS OF THE WEEK. CONGRATULATIONS : KANAB, UTAH.
