Wednesday April 17 – Kanab, Utah

We’re off in the morning and drive roughly 80 miles west to Kanob, Utah where we location a campground and set up. Next, we are in the town information center asking about activities in the area. Specifically we gather information on Peekaboo Canyon about 9 miles outside of Kanob. It’s about a 4 mile drive on a one lane sand road. We get to the road and head to the canyon. The sand road is a bit hairy and thoughts of getting stuck it the sand surface in both our minds but we are not vocalizing it to the other.

We do make it to the canyon but the more difficult journey is on the way back since it’s more uphill. Soft, deep sand road going uphill does not bode well. Anyway, we are in the canyon for a couple of hours and there are a few others there as well. A guide with a photographer, another guide with a family from Germany along with a few others.

While shoot Wells chats with the guide that is leading the German Family and he gives Wells to advice in getting out on the road for later. As we exit the Canyon and ready to head out we see the same guide once more and he offers for us to follow him out. We gladly accept his kind offer. It’s a bouncy ride out since in many of the soft areas the way to get through is to drive fairly fast. We make it out with no issues and again thank the guide. Back to Kanab for supper. Tomorrow we are heading to St. George, Utah to visit relatives.
