2011 - Day 8: Saturday - Toadstools and Tinseltown

In our travels on previous days we drove past a couple of interesting looking locations, so today we decided to check them out. We hiked in to a location in the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument called "The Toadstools" and them drove into the upper Paria Canyon which has been used as the filming location for several western movies. Afterward we took a tour of Bestfriends Animal Society and visited the free movie museum in downtown Kanab.

Paria Canyon

If you watch western movies or television shows, you have probably seen this mesa.


We saw a small herd of bighorn sheep off in the distance as we were leaving Paria Canyon.

The movie museum is the home of several pieces of movie sets.


Our last day in Kanab. It's a place worth visiting.
