Kanab is one of my favorite towns to base a hiking trip out of. It’s close to Zion National Park, Bryce National Park, and many other underrated areas. If you’re lucky in the winter, snow will dust the orange rock and make for spectacular views!

The Cosmic Ashtray is a geologic wonder in Southern Utah. This formation was carved out through years of friction between wind and sand. There are even some traces of Native American tribes as you approach it. The hike itself can be tough - it requires navigational skills and plenty of patience. It is said that 9 out of 10 people who set out never even find it!
Fiery Furnace is a beautiful unmapped maze in Arches National Park. Although much of the park is very groomed and set up for non-experienced hikers, Fiery Furnace is perfect for the navigational-savvy hiker.
Arches is probably one of the most famous national parks in the US. You’ve probably seen a lot of beautiful red rock photos on social media, especially Delicate Arch. The problem is a lot of these places can be huge tourists traps if you arrive at the wrong time. We learned quickly after talking to a few locals and are passing the tips along to you!
Corona Arch is a lesser known arch to visitors in Moab, but it's well known among locals. The arch itself is not located inside either of the national parks, so it's not as publicized. In terms of beauty, I think it competes with the famous Delicate Arch!
Canyonlands National Park is one of Utah's Mighty 5 National Parks. Nestled next to Arches National Park and the quirky town of Moab, Canyonlands is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. But like it's neighbor Arches National Park, it is prone to tourist traps as well. Keep reading my guide below to balance out your day in Canyonlands between must-see but crowded activities and more serene escapes.
Bryce Canyon is one of the many national parks in Utah. It's extremely unique and beautiful, as it's covered with hoodoos. The park is small and can be done in either 1 or 2 days. As with many national parks, it can be very touristy.
You've probably seen pictures of The Subway on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. Zion National Park is home to one of the most beautiful slot canyons in the world. There are two ways to do The Subway. In my opinion, the only way of experiencing the true beauty of The Subway is with the top-down option.
