In and around Kanab UT

This review is from October 2016.

​After a slow start we made our way into town for some breakfast. We decided to try Jackey Leighs this morning. Greg and I ordered my bagel with eggs and his chocolate chip scone to go. Even though it was a chilly morning we thoroughly enjoyed our meal at their outside tables with Fred. Several locals stopped by our table for a chat. They were very friendly and also loved dogs. My parents dined inside and unfortunately their eggs were overcooked and bland. 

When we finished with breakfast we walked up the street a bit and did a little shopping at Denny's Wigwam & Curio.

We had some time before our afternoon excursion so we visited the local grocery stores for some provisions. First we tried Kanab Natural Foods . Unfortunately the store didn't offer any fresh ingredients or meats that we were looking for but I did find some dairy free and gluten free snacks. Our last stop of the morning was to Glazier's Market. Here we found the last of the items we needed to make dinner at our AirBnb.

In the afternoon we made our way over to the offices of Dreamland Safari Tours. We had pre-booked the Mystical Slot Canyon Tour. Dreamland Safari Tours does also allow dogs provided that others on the tour approve of the dog coming along. Luckily we had another couple with us who didn't mind Fred joining us. Our guide Brent met us at the office and it was just a short wait until the tour started. Brent drove us up past Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, then off road, and into the slot canyon. Brent was knowledge about the area, very friendly, but also wasn't obtrusive. I appreciated that Brent allowed us to experience the canyon and take photographs at our own pace. All of us thoroughly enjoyed this tour however Dreamland Safari lists this as recommended for all ages and abilities. I kind of disagree with this. My mother is a senior citizen and has knee issues which causes her to walk unsteady. During this tour  we had to walk over loose rocks, climb some large rocks, and maneuver under a fallen tree. We were amazed that my mother did go through the entire tour (with the help of my father) but it's something to keep in mind if you have similar concerns. 

After the tour we headed back to our AirBnb and make a nice steak dinner and shared our favorite parts of the day with each other.
