Six Things to Do in Kanab, Utah, Kanab, Utah (B)

I found a small campground called Ponderosa Grove just 30 mins northwest of Kanab. The campground has about eight sites that are on a first come first serve basis. I arrived on a Monday night and there were three choices available. By Thursday, all were taken.

The sites are in close proximity of one another, but are shaded by junipers and pine which is nice for hot days. Each spot includes a picnic table, grill, fire ring, a generally flat area for a tent and parking area large enough for one to two cars. In addition, the campground includes two pit toilets.

Though a little out of the way, I felt like it was a good location as it was only five miles from Coral Sand Dunes State Park, Moqui Cave and Best Friends Animal Shelter. In addition, it wasn’t too far away from town which appealed to me as I was making morning treks in to the BLM Ranger Station to register for the wave and occasionally I wanted a real meal rather than camp food.

I likely didn’t have to drive all the way down the side road to this campsite, as the road was surrounded by BLM land where I could have pulled off into a secluded area. Alone and with rain in the forecast, however, I didn’t want to get stuck, so I selected a safer option, that is until I hit a deer. Watch out…they are everywhere!! ......
