Butcher for all you BBQ meats and jerky. This family has been in the butchering and hunting business for 3 generations. USDA inspected. Located 1 minute from Sugar Knoll Lodge. Open 8 to 12 weekdays.

Our favorite restaurant anywhere but located in Kanab. It’s not fancy and it gets very busy. They are closed Saturdays but open Sundays which is a bonus in this area where much is closed on Sundays. We think they have the best chili rellenos we’ve ever had and we love the chips and salsa and always grab some extra to go. Say hello to Rosa, she is both friendly owner and efficient waitress.

Home of the Ho-Made pies! The apple pie with Buttered Rum sauce is excellent. Try the scones with honey butter for breakfast or dessert. Utah scones are a delicious fry bread. Located very close at the crossroads of 89 and 9 the Zion Highway.

A longtime family favorite steakhouse located in Kanab. We think it’s worth the drive. Save room for mile high pie or better yet fill up on bread and take some pie to go!

Tour Companies, Entertainment and Activities

This company is now called ROAM. EZE has merged with the larger ROAM company. This is our personal favorite tour company. They are locally based and have local access that the other companies do not have. High adventure experiences and tours. Guides are locally raised and extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We highly recommend this company. We took a group or 17 teens and adults repelling. They sent us out with 4 friendly guides and UTV vehicles. Everyone successfully repelled half a dozen times throughout a slot canyon and enjoyed every second. The tours meet up and take off from their new location right in Orderville just a few minutes down the road from the lodge.

Red Cave and Sand Wash are must see adventures. You need to book with a tour company. East Zion Experience and East Zion Adventures will be able to take you through private property to visit this fascinating slot canyon. The tour guide will take you as far back as you want to go. The guides will point out petroglyphs high up on the wall you might otherwise miss. You will need to cross shallow water or spider crawl your way between the walls of the slot. You will need to climb walls but they are more than ready to pull you up or give you a boost. Take your time and enjoy the cooling air of the canyon. This website gives you a pretty good description of what to expect if you want to go it without a company.

We love this short hike with a big surprise at the end. Park at the water tank and hike up the wash. The white rock will turn to bright red and you know you are getting close. Bring a rope if you want to make it farther back in the slot. There are some areas that require climbing a wall. With help and team work you can make it! Or just go as far back as you can and you'll definitely have the unique experience of being in a slot canyon. You will be able to touch both sides, the air becomes chilled and don't forget to look up! Of course check the weather and wait to hike this when there aren't threats of flash floods.

This is a cave full of sand and arched windows high up on the hillside near Moqui Caves that is a quick and fun stopping point. The hike is short yet somewhat steep. You will learn the red rock hillsides are easy going up and a little trickier coming down. It is definitely doable for all ages but hold the hands of your little ones. The views are impressive and the picture opportunities are great!

Drive through the park and pull into to parking lots all throughout the Bryce to catch overlook views.

This is just outside the Bryce Canyon National Park on the other side. We especially like this because you can walk through water on a really hot day and the trail will end up right in front of hoodoos. Follow the trail to and beyond the waterfall. You can also see Mossy Cave of course which is especially beautiful in the winter with it's frozen icicles but during the summer the hoodoos are spectacular and just a bit farther up the creek. Definitely wear water shoes or shoes you don't mind getting wet for this trail. There is an additional parking lot 1000 feet past the main parking entrance.

This is great on a hot day while exploring the rest of Cedar Mountain. The cave is cool and pitch black. Bring a flashlight or two. The cave has a narrow opening and exit but opens up tall and wide to comfortably stand and walk through. If you want to the extra challenge you can exit out the end of the 2200 foot lava tube on the other side but prepare for a muddy crawl towards the end. The rocks can be a little slippery inside, shoes with traction are helpful but not required. Really nice picnic area with tables in the trees.
