Video TR: Kanab (UT) & Best Friends Animal Sanctuary

At the end of November we made a quick stop in the Kanab area en route back to Salt Lake City from Lake Powell (https://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/29511256.cfm).

We boondocked right off Hancock Road north of town, which is a terrific spot on BLM land situated right in between Kanab, Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park and the east entrance to Zion National Park.

Our campsite was also right next door to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, the nation's largest no-kill shelter that's not just for dogs and cats, but also horses and mules, small animals, reptiles and more.

We lacked the time to take a complimentary tour of Best Friends, so we filmed our own self-guided tour through their facility in Angel Canyon. It's a spectacular and emotionally moving place, and I highly recommend a visit if you're in the Kanab area.

    I believe he's using the DJI Mavic. I read that in another of his postings.


    That is correct, along with PolarPro's Cinema Series polarizing neutral density filters. I actually list all of our camera gear in each video description.

    Glad you folks enjoyed! Kanab makes an excellent centrally located "base camp" for exploring Southwestern Utah. And it's just plain beautiful to boot. Sorry for the delayed reply, I wasn't receiving email notifications until now for some reason.

  • Beautiful photos!!

    And to think I never visited this area while serving four years in Utah. :(
