Kanab
 

We will have three nights in Kanab, mid-October. We will use one full day to drive down to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and back. What would be recommended visits for the next full day? We are older, won't be hiking, but love the outdoors and natural sights. We will already have visited Bryce/ Zion and afterward will be headed south toward Phoenix. On that topic which would be the easier driving route to head south from Kanab, route 89 through Page, or alternate 89? We don't like "white knuckle" driving routes, heights with no guard rails, etc. We will have a rental car and need all paved roads. Is route 67 to North Rim paved? Thanks for all advice.

The route to the north rim is paved and fairly flat and straight.

Both 89 and 89A are paved, well maintained, nice views, some curves and elevation changes, but not what I would call "white knuckle"

Thank you, emalloy. That is just what we needed to know. We so appreciate the advice we receive on these forums.

Kanab has many touring opportunities. Last time I spent two weeks there.

Suggest download, or ordering a print copy, of this book as it is the only one that I know covering this entire area.

There isn't too much in the Kanab area that wouldn't involve hiking or dirt roads to get to.
Three things I can think of.
One is the Best Friends Animal shelter. First no kill shelter of any size in this area. Tours are available, or make arrangements ahead time to volunteer for half a day
Second is the Pipe Spring National Monument. Interesting history of early white settlers, plus the nice museum about the Piute first americans of the area
and last Coral Pink Sand Dunes are also a great place for some interesting scenery.

Thanks to all for your helpful replies.
