Kanab, UT

Kanab serves as the perfect base camp for Utah's "Big Five" national parks, sitting at the crossroads of Highway 89 and Highway 9 in red rock country. The town connects Zion (40 miles), Bryce Canyon (80 miles), and Grand Canyon North Rim via scenic desert highways. Most visitors arrive from Las Vegas (85 miles southwest) or make it a stop on the national parks circuit, with EV charging available along the main drag where John Wayne once filmed over 100 Westerns.
