Our resort is located in Kanab, Utah, which is within a few hour&rsquo;s drive of many of Southern Utah&rsquo;s most famous destinations. You can spend the night in one of the best hotels Kanab has to offer, and enjoy day trips to destinations like the </span><a href="https://canyonshotel.com/module/news/30721/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-north-rim-of-the-grand-canyon"><span>North Rim of the Grand Canyon</span></a><span> and Zion National Park. This means not having to change hotels each night of your stay&mdash;saving you time and money, and giving you more time to rest before another day of adventure!</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>If you plan to take day trips to two or more national parks during your stay in our Canyon Hotel, a national park annual pass could help you save some money. Keep reading to learn more about this pass, and how to decide whether you should buy one during your stay.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">What is a National Park Pass?</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>In the U.S., there are more than 2,000 federal recreation sites. While national parks are the best known, there are also national forests and grasslands, seashores and battlefields, historic sites, monuments, and many, many more varieties of land managed by the government.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Many of these sites have entrance fees. These fees help the National Park Service better manage these fragile natural and historical resources. But if you choose to visit national parks often, these can really add up. There are park-specific annual passes. However, those choosing to visit more than one park each year are better off with an annual pass.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>The National Park Service offers </span><a href="https://www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/passes.htm"><span>several annual pass options</span></a><span>:</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">America the Beautiful Annual Pass</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>The standard annual pass is called the America the Beautiful Pass. It&rsquo;s available to everyone, whether they are American residents or not. This means that visitors from other nations can buy one if they plan to visit several parks during a vacation.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>This annual pass costs $80 a year. The pass becomes active the month it is purchased and lasts for 12 months after that. It gains the cardholder, as well as three additional occupants of their vehicle, access to more than 400 sites that have entrance fees. The pass does not include any fees that are for third-party companies, like ferries or bus services that help get you to the historic or natural site. The pass doesn&rsquo;t cover any other services, like campground fees, facility rentals, etc.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Free Annual Passes</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>The National Park Service offers three different types of free annual passes. All carry the same benefits as the America the Beautiful Pass, just without the fee.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>The first is for all active members of the U.S. military, as well as their dependents. This includes those who are in the reserves or the National Guard.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>The next type of free pass is for anyone with a permanent disability. This pass is called an Access Pass, and it does provide a few additional benefits. Cardholders will get a 50 percent discount on some amenity fees, for things like camping, swimming, boat launching, or interpretive services.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Volunteers who donate at least 250 service hours with federal agencies each year can receive a free pass through the Interagency Pass Program.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Finally, any fourth-grade U.S. students, or home-schooled children who are 10 years of age, are eligible for a free one-year pass. This pass is a part of the Every Kid Outdoors initiative. In order to get it, children and their parents will need to visit the </span><a href="https://everykidoutdoors.gov/index.htm"><span>Every Kid Outdoors website</span></a><span> to get a paper pass that can then be exchanged for a card at federal recreation sites that charge an entrance fee or day-use fee.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Senior Pass</span><br /></span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Any U.S. permanent residents or citizens who are age 62 or older are eligible for a Senior Pass. This pass costs </span><a href="https://store.usgs.gov/senior-pass"><span>$80 for a lifetime pass</span></a><span> or $20 for an annual pass. The pass includes the same benefits as the regular annual pass, as well as a 50 percent discount on some amenity fees, like campground fees, swimming or boat launch passes, etc.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Should You Purchase a National Park Annual Pass for Your Canyon Hotel Stay?</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Now that you know what the pass options are, it&rsquo;s time to decide whether or not you should purchase a pass for your stay in one of the best hotels Kanab has to offer. The answer depends on how many national parks and National Park Service sites you plan to visit during your stay, or in the year following your trip.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>There are several National Park Service sites within a day&rsquo;s drive of our Canyon Hotel. These are the entrance fees charged at these sites:</span></p> <ul> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr"><span>North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park:&nbsp; $35 per vehicle</span></p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr"><span>Zion National Park: $35 per vehicle</span></p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr"><span>Capitol Reef National Park: $20 per vehicle</span></p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr"><span>Bryce Canyon National Park: $35 per vehicle</span></p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://canyonshotel.com/module/news/30748/day-trip-spotlight-pipe-springs-national-monument"><span>Pipe Springs National Monument</span></a><span>: $10 per person</span></p> </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr"><span>If you plan to visit three of these destinations during your stay, or if you plan to visit one or two and will visit other National Park Service sites that charge an entrance fee in the next 12 months, a national park annual pass will likely save you money.</span></p> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c29d0f70-7fff-ebc9-1c4c-fd5a08f482d6"><span>Ready to start planning your own </span><a href="https://goo.gl/maps/DVWbqFehu3KEqEGP6"><span>Canyons Hotel</span></a><span> adventure? </span><a href="https://secure.thinkreservations.com/canyonshotel/reservations"><span>Book your next stay</span></a><span> today!</span></span> Tips for Capturing Your Kanab Utah Adventure With Your Smartphone http://www.canyonshotel.comhttps://www.canyonshotel.com/modules/news.htm?newsId=30752 <p dir="ltr"><span>There are a seemingly endless number of adventures waiting for you when you choose a stay at </span><a href="https://goo.gl/maps/wwyT8RLqH378Apgs7"><span>Canyons Boutique Hotel</span></a><span> in Kanab Utah.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Several of the Utah Mighty 5, the state&rsquo;s famous national parks, are within a two-hour drive of our Kanab Utah lodging.

With new smartphone cameras now taking professional-quality photos, you don&rsquo;t need to lug around a separate camera to take some amazing photos of your vacation. But knowing a few simple tips can help.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Keep reading to learn how to use your smartphone to capture incredible pictures during your Kanab Utah adventure.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Start with a Clean Lens</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Whether you carry your cell phone in your pocket or purse, the camera is exposed. Throughout the day, it ends up covered in lint, dust, and fingerprints that will stand in the way of you and that perfect picture. This is especially true during your stay in lodges in Utah, when hiking and exploring the red rock desert is certain to leave you a little dusty.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Before you start snapping away, take a moment to clean off your phone&rsquo;s camera. Don&rsquo;t just reach for the edge of your jacket though, as this may scratch the lens. Instead, bring along a microfiber cloth, or use a clean, soft, lint-free t-shirt.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Use Gridlines to Balance Your Photos</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Pointing your smartphone and snapping at random may help you capture that moment, but it isn&rsquo;t likely to land you any professional-looking photographs. That&rsquo;s because one big thing sets professional photos apart from your everyday snap; composition.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.phototraces.com/definition-of-composition-in-photography/"><span>Composition refers to</span></a><span> the art of positioning the subjects in your photograph in a specific way. Your composition should aim to create interest, usually by drawing the audience&rsquo;s eye in a specific direction. &nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>It doesn&rsquo;t take a professional eye to give your photos a professional composition; you just need to understand the rule of thirds. To do this, imagine that your photo is being broken into three sections vertically and three sections horizontally, creating an imaginary grid of nine equal squares. Many newer smartphones now have a feature that allows you to project actual gridlines on your screen, making this even easier.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Then, when you are taking a photo, aim to place your subject on one of these lines. For instance, if you&rsquo;re snapping a shot of your friend standing in front of the Grand Canyon, line him or her up with one of the two vertical lines. You can also take this tip one step further by aiming to line up the background on the horizontal gridlines; perhaps the horizon behind your friend can be lined up with the top horizontal grid line.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>The result is balanced photos that draw attention to your subject of choice. You certainly don&rsquo;t have to line up every shot you take while staying in hotels near Long Valley Junction Utah. But if you want a few museum-quality shots that you&rsquo;ll want to display when you get home, put this tip to work.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Flip Your Phone</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>It likely feels far more natural to hold your cell phone upright when you&rsquo;re taking a picture. However, if you&rsquo;ve ever visited an art gallery or scrolled through professional landscape photos online, you&rsquo;ve likely noticed that these shots are rarely vertical.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Horizontal photos are far better suited for landscape shots. They give you more room to take in the sweeping mountains or canyon far below. They also keep your shots from becoming overwhelmed by too much sky or boring ground space.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>There will no doubt be plenty of instances when you&rsquo;ll want to flip your phone for a landscape photo while staying in lodging near Grand Canyon and visiting all the destinations Kanab Utah has to offer.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Skip the Flash</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Your phone&rsquo;s digital zoom isn&rsquo;t the only thing getting in the way of a professional shot. Your flash is also likely far too harsh to light your photos without leaving them grainy or washed out.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>If you do want to shoot photos at night or in low light, you&rsquo;re better off using another light source. A flashlight will better illuminate your image than your built-in flash. Of course, nothing beats natural light for achieving beautiful photographs.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Capturing Photos During Your Kanab Utah Adventure</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>From the view of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon to the many stunning vistas you&rsquo;ll see </span><a href="https://canyonshotel.com/module/news/30722/scenic-drives-to-enjoy-during-your-stay-in-kanab-ut-hotels"><span>during a scenic drive</span></a><span>, you&rsquo;ll no doubt go home from Kanab Utah with endless incredible pictures of your adventures.

The location that is today the national monument </span><a href="https://www.nps.gov/pisp/learn/historyculture/index.htm"><span>has a long and storied history</span></a><span>.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>For many centuries, the region was home to a number of Native American tribes. They frequented the area and even built small communities that relied on the freshwater spring located there.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>More than a thousand years after Native Americans first came to the area, the first European settlers arrived. During the mid-19th century, a group of Mormon pioneers from Northern Utah arrived in Northern Arizona. They settled near the spring and established a cattle ranch.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Raids on the ranch by Native American tribes were frequent during the Black Hawk War, and tensions ran high between the tribes and these pioneers. A fort was soon built on the site to help protect the ranch and the settlers. It quickly became an outpost for travelers passing through the area, and a source of trade and commerce for the people who settled here. Eventually, members of the Paiute Native American tribe settled in the land surrounding the ranch. In the late 1880s, the Mormon pioneers lost ownership of the ranch, and much of the land became the Kaibab Paiute Indian Reservation. But in 1923, the site of the ranch and fort were set aside to become a national monument.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Pipe Springs National Monument Today</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Today, Pipe Springs National Monument offers visitors a chance to learn more about the history of the site and of the many different groups of people who have lived in the region.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Start your visit in the Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians Visitor Center and Museum. The museum is divided between information about the Native American tribes that first settled here and the story of the Mormon pioneers and the fort.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Outside of the museum, visitors can wander the remnants of the fort, also known as Winsor Castle. You can join a ranger-guided tour to learn about the building of the fort and what life was like there. In the summer months, rangers lead additional talks and demonstrations, such as displays of pioneer and Native American tools and crafts.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Besides the fort, there are also two preserved cabins that give visitors a chance to take a closer look at what the life of those early Mormon pioneers was like. An orchard and garden still grow on the property, with Native American and pioneer crops. There&rsquo;s also a corral where you can see horses and cattle.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Entrance to the visitor center and museum is free. If you want to visit the fort and grounds, you&rsquo;ll need to pay </span><a href="https://www.nps.gov/pisp/planyourvisit/fees.htm"><span>an entrance fee of $10 per person</span></a><span>&nbsp;or present a valid national park annual pass, also known as the </span><a href="https://www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/passes.htm"><span>America the Beautiful Pass</span></a><span>.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Planning Your Next Stay at One of the Best Lodges in Utah</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>A day trip to Pipe Springs National Monument is a great addition to your stay at one of the best lodges in Utah.

Both Canyons Boutique Hotel and Canyons Lodge are located in beautiful Kanab, Utah.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>The town&rsquo;s stunning natural beauty has attracted attention and visitors for more than a hundred years.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>After the first Western movie was filmed in Kanab in the early 1920s, the town earned the nickname of &ldquo;Little Hollywood,&rdquo; and has continued to attract film makers even today. You can even visit the </span><a href="https://www.littlehollywoodmuseum.org/museum.html"><span>Little Hollywood Museum</span></a><span>, where you can wander real and reproduction movie sets, see props, and learn more about filmmaking in this Southern Utah town.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Outdoor lovers and adventure seekers have taken note of the town more recently as the perfect basecamp for exploring some of Utah&rsquo;s most incredible parks. Zion National Park is just a half an hour from Kanab. Bryce Canyon National Park is under an hour and a half away. </span><a href="https://canyonshotel.com/module/news/30721/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-north-rim-of-the-grand-canyon"><span>The North Rim of the Grand Canyon</span></a><span> is two hours away by car.

Instead, each of the Canyons Boutique hotels, including Canyons Lodge and Canyons Boutique Hotel, features unique room designs and decor.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>In Canyons Boutique Hotel, the </span><a href="https://canyonshotel.com/all-rooms.htm"><span>renovated guest rooms</span></a><span> feature retro decor that calls to mind the types of rooms that some of Hollywood&rsquo;s stars no doubt stayed in in the mid-1950s while filming Westerns in the area. While the room decor may harken to past decades, the comforts found there are fully modern. Every room features new, plush beds, custom-made spa products, and free Wi-Fi. Some rooms also feature special upgrades like in-room fireplaces and jetted hot tubs.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Our other Kanab Utah lodging option is Canyons Lodge. This property features </span><a href="https://www.canyonslodge.com/all-rooms.htm"><span>rustic-contemporary rooms</span></a><span>. Log cabin-inspired walls mix with rustic, modern artwork and decor.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>In addition to our unique decor, both of our Canyon hotels offer a variety of room types for every type of traveler. Both of our Kanab Utah lodging options have standard two-queen or single king rooms, as well as larger suites ideal for families or groups of friends traveling together. At Canyons Boutique Hotel, our largest room is our </span><a href="https://canyonshotel.com/two-bedroom-suite.htm"><span>Canyons 2 Bedroom Loft</span></a><span>, which features two separate bedrooms and a full living room.

Our friendly staff are always there to greet guests, offer local travel recommendations, or to do what they can to make your stay special.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Don&rsquo;t just take our word for it; many of our previous guests have said the same.

Keep reading to learn how to plan your visit and choose lodging near Grand Canyon National Park.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Choosing Lodging Near Grand Canyon National Park</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>The North Rim of the Grand Canyon is located close to the border between Utah and Arizona. This remote region offers some incredibly scenic views you&rsquo;ll get to enjoy during your drive. But it also means that lodging near Grand Canyon National Park is limited.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Staying close to the North Rim might make it easy to get to the national park. But it will also mean being far away from other outdoor attractions, as well as services like restaurants, grocery stores, or gift shops.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Instead, the best lodging Grand Canyon National Park has to offer is located a short drive away. Staying in Kanab Utah makes it easy to plan a variety of day trips and adventures during your getaway.

There&rsquo;s no shortage of things to do!</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Traveling to the North Rim From Kanab Utah</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Staying in lodging near Grand Canyon National Park like Canyons Lodge means that getting to the park is a part of the adventure. You&rsquo;ll leave the red rock deserts of Kanab Utah behind as you ascend into higher elevations. Your journey will wind through forests of pine trees as temperatures drop.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>The North Rim of the Grand Canyon is around 1,000 feet higher in elevation than the South Rim. It&rsquo;s also much higher in elevation than Kanab Utah. This means that during the winter months, the area frequently experiences heavy snowfall. The North Rim of the Grand Canyon is closed for most of the winter season. If you have your heart set on visiting the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, you&rsquo;ll want to plan to </span><a href="https://www.canyonslodge.com/all-rooms.htm"><span>visit Canyons Lodge</span></a><span> from late spring to mid-fall.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">What to See at the North Rim</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>The North Rim of the Grand Canyon has its own visitor center and lodge. You can talk to a ranger about trail conditions, shop for souvenirs, and learn more about the unique wildlife and ecosystems of the park.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Thanks to its higher elevation, the view from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is a little different from what you&rsquo;ll find at the South Rim. At the South Rim, the view lets you look down into the canyon. But at the North Rim, the view is more panoramic. The best place to take in the Grand Canyon at the North Rim is at Bright Angel Point. This short, easy trail is located just a half-mile from the main parking lot, located at the Grand Canyon Lodge.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>There are also plenty of other hiking trails to enjoy at the North Rim. The Transept Tour is a three-mile trail that travels between the Grand Canyon Lodge and the North Rim Campground, with great views of the canyon far below. While it is possible to hike between the North and South Rims, this trail takes more than a day, and is very challenging. But there are plenty of other easier trails that let you enjoy the canyon without having to have advanced hiking experience.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Planning a Stay at Lodging Near Grand Canyon National Park</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Planning a day trip to the Grand Canyon during your stay at </span><a href="https://goo.gl/maps/ELwMS9TPQsstze9TA"><span>Canyons Lodge</span></a><span> is a great way to experience a unique side of this popular national park.

There are an endless number of incredible drives to enjoy during your stay in Kanab UT hotels. In fact, you could take a drive in any direction and be certain to experience incredible views of the many diverse landscapes that the region is known for.</p> <p dir="ltr"><span>But if you&rsquo;re looking for a few specific scenic drives to enjoy during your stay in </span><a href="https://goo.gl/maps/2mknHhTGbcj4mckq9"><span>Canyons Boutique Hotel</span></a><span>, look no further. Keep reading as we bring you the best options near your lodging in Kanab UT.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Johnson Canyon Road and Skutumpah Road</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>The first scenic drive on our list starts just a short distance from Kanab UT hotels. While it may be the shortest drive on this list, it offers some of the best views.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>After leaving your lodging in Kanab UT, head east on Highway 89. About 11 miles out of town, you&rsquo;ll turn onto </span><a href="https://www.visitutah.com/places-to-go/cities-and-towns/kanab/johnson-canyon-road"><span>Johnson Canyon Road</span></a><span>. This 18-mile route climbs upward along a cliff-line canyon. You&rsquo;ll then find yourself on the far western edge of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Along the way, you can stop at a number of pull-offs to catch views of stair-step rock formations. From one of these pull-offs, you can even see the remains of a 1960s replica of Dodge City that was used as a set for the TV series </span><span>Gunsmoke</span><span>, which lies on private property.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>When you get to the end of the 18-mile road, you can either turn around and descend back into the canyon, or continue onto Skutumpah Road. This rough route continues 33 miles along the edge of Grand Staircase-Escalante and ends at Kodachrome Basin State Park.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Zion Park Scenic Byway</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>For most of the year, the Zion Canyon Shuttle System ferries visitors around the park&rsquo;s popular Lower Canyon. This is where you&rsquo;ll find many of the most popular trailheads, as well as the Zion Lodge. When the shuttle is in operation, personal vehicles aren&rsquo;t allowed into the Lower Canyon. But while many visitors head to the lower canyon, there&rsquo;s an entire other section of the park that&rsquo;s always open to personal vehicles.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Entering </span><a href="https://www.thecanyonscollection.com/tours.htm"><span>Zion National Park</span></a><span> from the South Entrance of the park, you&rsquo;ll keep to the right as you pass the turn off for the Lower Canyon. By keeping right, you&rsquo;ll stay on Utah Highway 9. Following a series of switchbacks with incredible views of the canyon below (don&rsquo;t stop for photos unless it&rsquo;s at a designated pull-off!), you&rsquo;ll enter the famous </span><a href="https://www.nps.gov/zion/planyourvisit/the-zion-mount-carmel-tunnel.htm"><span>Zion-Mt. Carmel Tunnel</span></a><span>. After that, you&rsquo;ll be above the canyon, where the landscape changes but the incredible views at every turn continue. Here you&rsquo;ll find Checkerboard Mesa, Pine Creek Canyon, and other lesser-known icons of the park.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Highway 9 continues out the East Entrance of the park, where you can then connect to Mount Carmel Junction and Kanab, or continue on to Bryce Canyon National Park. The Zion Park Scenic Byway technically stretches 60 miles total, beginning in Hurricane, Utah, continuing through the park, and ending in Mount Carmel Junction.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Highway 12 Scenic Byway</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>This next scenic drive starts where the last left off. Mount Carmel Junction is located about 17 miles north of Kanab UT hotels. Here, Highway 89 intersects with the beginning of Highway 12.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>This scenic byway first takes drivers past Bryce Canyon National Park and its towering hoodoos and stunning amphitheater. Turning south, the road goes through the town of Tropic before passing the entrance to </span><a href="https://stateparks.utah.gov/parks/kodachrome-basin/"><span>Kodachrome Basin State Park</span></a><span>, one of Utah&rsquo;s best-kept secrets.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Highway 12 follows the edge of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and passes through a variety of small western towns, like Escalante and Boulder. It ends in Torrey, Utah, on the west side of Capitol Reef National Park.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Highway 12 Scenic Byway stretches 124 miles in total and is paved throughout. During the roughly 3 hour drive, you&rsquo;ll pass red rock domes, slickrock canyons, heavily wooded mountainscapes, and more. This is a great way to experience some of Utah&rsquo;s most stunning landscapes from the comfort of your car.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Planning Your Stay in Kanab UT Hotels</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>One of the best things about choosing lodging in Kanab UT is enjoying easy access to so many of the most popular attractions in Southern Utah.

But while Zion or Bryce Canyon might be popular day trips, there&rsquo;s another national park that&rsquo;s sometimes overlooked, especially by first-time visitors; the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>When most people think about visiting the Grand Canyon, they think of the South Rim. Located less than five hours from Las Vegas, Nevada, and around four hours from Phoenix, Arizona, this section of the park draws </span><a href="https://www.grandcanyon.net/south-rim-or-north-rim"><span>more than 4 million annual visitors</span></a><span>. If you want to visit this popular destination, you&rsquo;ll only need to drive around three and a half hours from </span><a href="https://goo.gl/maps/FLw6WbZxQdXiZjA66"><span>Canyons Boutique Hotel</span></a><span>. But there&rsquo;s actually a better way to experience the grandeur of the Grand Canyon; the North Rim.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>If you&rsquo;re thinking about enjoying a day trip to the North Rim during your stay at Grand Canyon lodges in Kanab, keep reading to learn what you need to know.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The North Rim of the Grand Canyon</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>As the name suggests, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is located on a northern curve of the canyon, within the boundaries of Grand Canyon National Park. This section of the national park actually isn&rsquo;t much further from Phoenix or Las Vegas than the South Rim. Despite this, it </span><a href="https://www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/north-rim.htm"><span>draws just 10 percent</span></a><span> of the national park&rsquo;s annual visitors.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>This often-overlooked section of the national park is less than two hours from Kanab, making it the perfect destination for a day trip.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Fewer Crowds and Stunning Views</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>The North Rim is a great spot to enjoy the Grand Canyon without the crowds. But just because it sees fewer crowds doesn&rsquo;t mean that it doesn&rsquo;t have incredible views.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>The North Rim offers views that rival those you&rsquo;ll find at the South Rim. The South Rim is a great spot to experience the depth of the Grand Canyon. Depending on where you&rsquo;re looking from, you may be able to see all the way to the Colorado River at the base of the canyon.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>In contrast, the North Rim is known for its panoramic views. From Bright Angel Point, it almost looks as though the Grand Canyon is completely surrounding you.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Facilities at the North Rim</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>At the North Rim, there&rsquo;s one lodging option, the Grand Canyon Lodge, as well as a visitor center. Inside the visitor center is a bookshop where you&rsquo;ll find guidebooks, novels, and other materials perfect for learning more about the history and geology of the park. This is a great spot to talk to a park ranger about trail conditions or to ask any questions you have about the national park.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>At the North Rim, you&rsquo;ll also find a variety of trailheads, including some that will take you into the canyon. The most popular overlook at the North Rim is called Bright Angel Point. This overlook is located on a short, 0.5 mil round-trip, paved trail.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">South Rim Vs North Rim: Which Should You Visit?</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>When you are planning to visit the best Grand Canyon lodges will have an impact on which rim you choose to visit. The North Rim of the Grand Canyon closes for the winter season when snow and ice make the roads into this portion of the park impassable.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Most years, the North Rim closes to visitors at the start of December and reopens in mid-March.

This fort was used as a defense against Native American tribes, as well as acting as a home base for expeditions to chart and explore the region. The fort was abandoned after an attack by Native American tribes in 1866. Mormon pioneers later settled in the fort and the surrounding area.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>The town of Kanab was once one of the most isolated towns in all of the United States because it could only be reached by traveling rough dirt roads along the Arizona Strip from Las Vegas. But today, it&rsquo;s a scenic town that draws tourists looking to enjoy the outdoors or experience a taste of the Wild West for themselves.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Visiting Kanab Utah</span><br /></span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Kanab, Utah is perhaps best known as the place where a number of classic movies were filmed.
