Kanab Tour Company specializes in accessing some of the most coveted and challenging destinations in the American Southwest. Their expert guides lead small groups to places like The Wave at Coyote Buttes North, the otherworldly formations of White Pocket, and the colorful badlands of Coyote Buttes South. These are bucket-list locations that require permits, specialized 4x4 vehicles, and intimate knowledge of unmarked routes through remote desert terrain.
What sets this operation apart is their ability to navigate both the logistics and the landscape. They assist with the notoriously difficult permit process for The Wave, provide the high-clearance 4x4 transportation essential for deep sand driving, and employ guides who know every hidden slot canyon and photogenic rock formation in the region. Their guides bring a personal touch to each tour, sharing insights about geology, local history, and the best angles for photography while adapting the pace to match their guests' abilities.
Based in Kanab, the company is perfectly positioned for exploring the stunning public lands that surround this small Utah town. While many visitors know Kanab as a convenient base for visiting Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, the tour company focuses on the lesser-known treasures that require more effort to reach. These include the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, Grand Staircase-Escalante, and other protected areas where visitor numbers are limited and the landscapes remain pristine.
For travelers seeking something beyond the standard national park experience, these guided adventures offer access to geological wonders that most people only see in photographs. The combination of expert navigation, reliable equipment, and genuine enthusiasm from the guides creates memorable experiences in some of the Southwest's most spectacular and exclusive terrain.
