About Kanab
Tucked against vibrant red cliffs just seven miles north of the Arizona border, Kanab offers classic desert charm with a close-knit population of under 5,000 residents. Living here puts some of the Southwest's most stunning landscapes right in your backyard, with Grand Staircase-Escalante, Coral Pink Sand Dunes, and Zion National Park all an easy drive away. It is a quiet, scenic basecamp that makes getting outside part of everyday life.
The town has a rich personality shaped by classic Western filmmaking, earning it the longstanding nickname "Little Hollywood." Today, that cinematic history blends with practical small-town conveniences, from local cafes and artisan shops along Main Street to the world-renowned Best Friends Animal Sanctuary just outside town. While it serves as the administrative hub for Kane County, Kanab maintains a peaceful, friendly pace that appeals to anyone looking for wide-open spaces and a genuine desert community.
