One of the must-see highlights near Kanab is the Grand Canyon, in northern Arizona.
The full experience would entail a strenuous hike, possibly walking on a quite crowded
trail, access to which may have to be booked well in advance. Neither of these
qualities is very attractive to me, so we opted for the easy way: driving to the overview
area and then making a leisurely stroll along the rim. The real grandeur of the canyon
is difficult to appreciate this way, but there's enough plant and animal life to
be seen to enjoy this easy way of visiting the canyon. This also applies to the
route through the park toward the canyon. For instance, close behind the entrance into
the park, we were surprised by a herd of buffalo!
