Kanab, Utah

  We're enjoying the town of Kanab. It's known for over 100 old western movies made in the area years ago. It's often referred to as "Little Hollywood" or "The Heart of the Parks". Thanks to the visitor center and our neighbors, we've found a few fascinating State Parks to visit while we're waiting patiently for the National Parks to reopen. Also, we took a tour of the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary which is the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals. www.bestfriends.org 
   Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park was quite beautiful with its coral pink sand. We had another fascinating day at the Kodachrome Basin State Park which is near Bryce Canyon National Park. There is over 67 sand pipes (see pics below) interesting rock formations. We took a short-cut home down a 35 mile mostly two track dirt road where we were able to view Bryce Canyon from a distance. 
   It sounds like the Federal Gov't may allow the State of Utah to open up 8 different National Parks possibly by Saturday morning. We are very hopeful, but more hopeful for a federal budget.
   I will attach pictures of Kanab area along with a couple pictures from the Jackson Hole, WY area as soon as possible.
