Hike.
The famous "wave" is here. Only twenty people per day are permitted to visit: ten by online application months in advance, and ten by lottery at the Grand Staircase-Escalante Visitor Center here in Kanab. If you can't get the permit, don't worry, the national monument includes other beautiful scenery too. White Pocket is less popular than the wave because it's more difficult to get to (four-wheel drive is needed), but it doesn't require a permit, and some say it's even more spectacular than the wave.
Unique, built in 1892.
One of the oldest standing buildings in town, was a Kanab's original mercantile. Built in 1892, by H.E.Bowman & Co., the building has housed a bank (the safe was installed in 1902), a Post Office, a general store (the upstairs was added in the 20s), an ice cream shop, an Italian restaurant and a pawn shop. Since April 2000, the building has been home to The Rocking V Cafe, an eclectic American bistro, serving lunch and dinner to locals and tourists from all over the world. The Rafters Gallery is upstairs displaying local art & the original rough sawn, full dimension lumber that makes up the support for the roof. Notice the safe at the back of main floor dining room and the walls of original adobe brick.
Built in 1929, is now Terry's Camera Trading Company. Many old time movie stars spent their nights in the lodging.
The Nation's largest sanctuary (~3,800 acres and 1,500-2,000 animals at any given time) for companion animals including dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, horses, donkeys, mules, goats, pigs, and a few others. This is a remarkable place that will impress any pet lover. You can visit and take tours through the facilities seven days a week, reservations may be needed. They have accommodations for overnight stays, reservations need to be made well in advance, and opportunities for you to work as a volunteer in the animal areas, volunteer commitments can be as short as 1/2 day or less.
Exhibits a collection of actual movie sets as the centerpiece of its exploration of how the sleepy little town of Kanab became the back lot for movies like The Outlaw Josey Wales, Planet Of The Apes and Stagecoach, and a haunt for Hollywood stars like Frank Sinatra, John Wayne, Charleton Heston, Clint Eastwood, Kiefer Sutherland and Willem Dafoe. The museum is set behind Frontier Movie Town, a large gift shop with tourist souvenirs.
