Many trails lead to petroglyphs, slot canyons, hidden lakes, and sand caves. Town amenities are just a few miles away. Kanab has several great coffee shops, grocery stores, and off-road adventures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This area is just breathtaking! Within a short drive, you can explore Zion National Park, Coral Pink Sand Dunes, or Peekaboo Slot Canyon. Lake Powell is a little over an hour away, and Bryce Canyon National Park is a little further down the road at 81 miles away. Our hosts, Don and Karen Conley, just returned from Dark Sky, and they loved Vermillion Cliffs.
