This is a good central location to explore Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Kanab. We also selected it because we wanted to ski at Brian Head, but that was a bit awkward because we learned the hard way that they close the most direct route in the winter (pretty drive but not one I would choose to do again). The house is clean and spacious and very well stocked with everything you might need. It has a direct water heater, so no worries about running out of hot water, which was very nice after a long day of hiking. We really enjoyed the tour of the peek-a-boo slot canyon just north of Kanab, and Kanab itself is a really interesting town if you like old westerns. Most of them were filmed there and there are signs everywhere describing the history. Afterwards, we got mouth-watering steaks at Houston's.
