Old #WesternRuins still dot the #SouthwestUtah landscape from the days of the #WildWest and I know some of these locations that I take visitors to on my Area 51 Wild West tours out to Southern Nevada. Most of what’s left of the #19thcentury is no longer with us because the old ghost towns have been vandalized and plundered by treasure hunters. Even the federal government is guilty of leveling some of this western heritage. It’s a sad state of affairs. There are still some remnants the past though!

A Must-Do Excursion in Kanab, Utah
A Must-Do tour in Kanab. Cutler Point and The Great Chamber
Wowzers! Photo Op extraordinaire.
Awesome jeep tour with my favorite photo spot yet! You will love this tour just a little North-East of Kanab.
Cutler Point and The Great Chamber
There are so many cool places around Kanab and I haven’t even heard of a lot of them. Cutler Point is one of those. Jeff and Julie Jensen from Coral Cliff Tours took us out for a quick morning Jeep tour to this easy attraction. Cutler Point is a large promontory in the White Cliffs level of The Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. #HiddenGem So dramatic and impressive! but wait….
Cutler point near Kanab Utah
We parked at the base of this giant, then just a short, full sun, quarter-mile walk from the Jeep (kinda steep, sandy, rocky, near the end), and we were at the Great Chamber in Cutler Point. I just couldn’t say “Wow” enough times. This huge alcove has one GIANT sand dune in the middle. By standing in the back of the alcove and shooting up to the top of the dune, you will get amazing photos. Our self made “Petroglyph people” were my favorites.
Great photos inside and out
From the base of Cutler Point looking West
The Great Chamber is amazing, but it is not the only thing. A great view of the valley kept me mesmerized as the clouds rolled by and made the panorama below us constantly evolve. Sunbeams spotlighted the Red Butte to the West and Johnson Canyon to the East. The scale of this landscape is simply remarkable. Making it a true gem and a challenge for photographers. Don’t forget your wide-angle lens if ya got em’.
I call this a Must-do excursion for a couple of reasons -
- Fairly quick and easy, we were out and back within 2 hours.
- Instagram Envy worthy photos
- The scope of the landscape!
- And it certainly didn’t hurt that we did this tour on a beautiful spring morning when the wildflowers were out.
Beware
Don’t EVEN think about doing this in your own vehicle! Deep sand and way too many side roads to keep track of. Getting stuck in this outback area could turn dangerous quickly. Plus Jeff and Julie know how to take just the right photos of your group. So don't think twice, get a guide on this one guys.
Also - Do not plan on doing this in the middle of a hot summer day. Temps can be brutal and you will not enjoy this so much. But don’t forget the Southern Utah mantra - no matter when you go - plenty of Water and Sunscreen folks!
You can reach Coral Cliff Tours here: https://cctoursandtownhomes.com/
These folks are also my recommendation for Peekaboo Slot canyon. See my blog post on Peekaboo #CoolTour #Cutler Point #GreatChamber

Book Direct Education Day
Travelers take notice -
I have written quite a bit about #Bookdirect because I am passionate about it! I love a good deal and I love sharing with other travelers how to get a good deal! Booking Direct is a good deal all the way around.
What is #BookDirect?
Book Direct is simply cutting out the middlemen fees when booking accommodations for your business trip or vacation. No Vrbo/Homeaway, Airbnb, Booking.com, etc. Just book direct with the owner or manager. Simple.
You, the guest, save money when you Book Direct
The Hospitality Owner saves money
You get better, local (not overseas) customer service
The Owner gets better information
You get personalized ideas and help with your vacation, plus support local businesses.
The Owners get to share their pride in their community with visitors
Help me find a “Book Direct” property.
Look for LOCAL area rental sites. Search for “whatever my destination is”, “vacation rentals” or “Book direct”. Scroll down past the OTA paid ads.
Search on fee-free sites such as VacationSoup.com or Houfy.com
Find a place you like on an OTA, then search the name of the property or owner in search engines and social media. Do an image search. Savvy owners can leave you clues, but direct info is banned from the listing sites. (I had a guest recently follow my breadcrumbs to my website and saved $500 on her family’s stay!)
Search Local area Tourist information sites
Search for Facebook groups dedicated to vacation rentals by owners, fee-free or VRBO/Airbnb alternatives. There are quite a few.
I have a small list of other trusted great owners from around the world. Might spark your next great adventure! https://mystarvr.com/stays-around-the-world/and the #BookDirect Map

Fascinating Dinosaur Country
Who doesn't love Dinosaurs!? Utah has plenty of Dinosaur history sites to explore but don't miss this great little museum just off Highway 89A on your way to Lake Powell. 57 miles from Kanab and just 13 miles from Lake Powell. The Big Water visitor center is one of four visitor centers in the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. Each visitor center has a different theme, and Big Water is all about the Big Guys!
Paleontology and Geology explained
You will see:
Vibrant 30' mural depicting Late Cretaceous Period
Real dinosaur fossils on display
Topography relief model of the Monument
Plus get current weather reports, road conditions, and trail updates
You will not need a lot of time here, but worth the stop. The Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument is a big place but we found this little gem fascinating. Their book/gift store has a good collection of field guides and souvenirs. Check out the official GSENM website here: https://www.blm.gov/visit/big-water-visitor-center
Utah's Dinosaur History
With fossil records of more dinosaur species than any other state and the most complete record of prehistoric life than any other geographic area on the planet, Utah offers one of the world's largest collections of mounted dinosaur skeletons at over a dozen different museums and actual discovery sites. Dinosaurs should be our state animal.....
Other things to see in the area
You can find other cool (non-dino) recommendations for things to see and do in our Kanab area local guide: https://mystarvr.com/what-to-see-and-do-and-eat-and-where-to-stay-southern-utah-2/

KANAB, UT, CHRISTMAS LIGHT PARADE AND FESTIVAL
Light Parade
Ending the Thanksgiving weekend we have the Christmas Light Parade and Festival. This is the best kickoff to the holiday season you will find anywhere in Southern Utah! Starting at 7 pm in Kanab join us on Center Street where we will shut down the highway and begin our unique Christmas Light Parade. Anyone can enter a float in the parade. If you wish to enter the parade show up at the Kane County Visitor Center at 6 pm to sign up. This year’s theme will be the “I’ll be Home for Christmas”. Bring the whole family as you watch the beautifully crafted parade entries float down Center Street, then turn around, just to be seen a second time.
Lantern Festival
After the parade, join us on Main Street for hot chocolate and donuts provided by the Volunteer Center and Kanab Chamber of Commerce, and lastly, a magical paper lantern wishing launch. Purchase your wishing lanterns ahead of time, or at the event; write messages or wishes on your paper lanterns and send them to the sky. Watch your lanterns float to the heavens with a message to a loved one, or to the cosmos with your wishes attached. You may purchase your lanterns ahead of time here.
https://youtu.be/PBZzGyW7KXo
All paper lanterns are 100% biodegradable and there is a local bounty on all lanterns found throughout the town and the surrounding area to encourage a quick clean up. If you find lanterns and wish to turn them in for a $1 bounty, you can take them to the Events and Volunteer Center (at the airport). These lantern sales are a fundraiser for our local Sub 4 Santa program to help families in need at Christmas time to ensure their children have gifts under the tree. Most gifts are items children are in need of, if you wish to donate to Sub 4 Santa you can contact the Volunteer Center at 435-644-3696.
