Your next stop is this museum on West Center Street. As previously suggested, Kanab has been the setting for many well-known westerns, hence the name “Little Hollywood.” In fact, as you stroll around town, you will notice several plaques concerning key individuals in the motion picture industry.
It’s a popular place for photoshoots. It includes a gift shop and multiple movie sets on its backlot. Admission is free. Be sure to stay for one of their Chuckwagon Cookouts complete with Dutch-oven dinners and western entertainment.
This state park on Sand Dune Road is a favorite of the locals. There’s a lot to do here including biking, hiking, and sledding or sandboarding down the hills. Rent an OHV (off-highway vehicle) and race over the dunes too. While the sand may not always look really pink, if you visit this place a little before sunset you’ll get a better understanding of why this place is named the “Coral Pink” Sand Dunes State Park.
