Kanab, Utah? Must see things?
We're going to spend about 5 days in Kanab in April. Anything in the area that you all consider a "must see"?

Post trip report....
We had a lot of wind due to a storm hitting Utah. It was sunny, just really windy and cold in the evenings/night. Sand + wind = less things we wanted to do. :)
Things we did:
- Pipe Spring National Monument
- Anasazi Museum in Fredonia
- Drove out to Paria where there used to be a movie set. A dumb arsonist burned it down about 10 years ago so not much to see.
- Glen Canyon Dam tour
- Horseshoe Bend hike
- Toadstool hike
- Kids played at the Coral Pink sand dunes (state park)
- Drove through Johnson Canyon (Gunsmoke set is visible from the road)
- Visited rock shops in Orderville
Things we didn't do but would have under different circumstances:
- Animal sanctuary
- Museums in town weren't open yet for the season (2nd time I've been to Kanab without them being open)
- ATV rental
- Drive out to North rim of the grand canyon (Tooweep)
- Go up to Kodachrome canyon and stay in that area for a couple of days
- See Bryce since we passed it on the way
We're from Utah, so we'll make it to the other places on other trips. We tend to do odd stuff and we've done the big parks before, so we're working through the less traveled sites.
