Kanab was our home to see lots of amazing features in this area. We stayed at Crazy Horse RV Campground. It was very small, but had a really nice pool…exactly what we needed in this heat. It was high 90’s and even 100’s while we were there, so a pool was a necessity for our Wisconsin blood! Zion National Park
E-Bikes About an hour drive from our campground was Zion. We spent one day at Zion National Park. We chose to rent E-bikes from Zion Peddler, highly recommend!!! We picked our bikes up at 6 am and headed on the Pa’Rus trail in Zion. This trail is only for bikes, pedestrians, and shuttles! We didn’t see a soul until we hit the Scout’s Lookout trail! It was amazing! Seeing the park from an E-bike was so cool and so fun! Scout Lookout This is a very challenging trail, 3.6 with over 1,000 feet elevation gain. This is the trail that leads to Angel’s Landing. You can do all of the trail except for the last 1/2 mile of Angel’s Landing unless you won a lottery reservation, which we did not. Highly recommend doing Scout Lookout even if you didn’t get an Angel’s Landing reservation. It has some amazing views!  The NarrowsThe Narrows This is definitely one of my favorite hikes of all time! It definitely lives up to the hype! We chose not to rent the boots, socks, and walking sticks, but its a great option if you don’t have your own equipment. Mia and I wore our hiking boots with wool socks, Travis wore an old pair of sneakers, and Jess wore his Keen sandals. I would say it all depends on your skill level and experience hiking through water. I personally need the ankle support on uneven terrain, so my hiking boots were perfect. Travis and Jess are more agile and don’t have the weak ankles so their choices worked for them. We hiked 8 miles in total and the further we got the less people we saw. The highest water levels we had to walk through was chest deep, Mia was happy to get a ride from her big brother! It was about 10:30 and a little cooler in the Narrows so she wasn’t ready to get soaked yet. By the afternoon, we were all swimming in the deeper parts to stay cool! The water was actually not as cold as I thought and with my hiking boots, my feet never got too cold. It was a beautiful hike! Kanab
 Sand Caves Fun little scramble up the sandstone to see the Sand Caves. Easy to get to, just park in the lot next to Moqui Caves and follow the path to the sandstone, scramble up and walk to the caves. Make sure to wear good shoes for traction, although my kids did it in their crocs…I wouldn’t recommend!
Belly of the Dragon
Literally right off of the parking lot, fun little walk for the kids and a nice place to stay cool!
