Our Favorite Spots
Though there are many more things to experience, here are a few of our favorites.
5 Minute Drive From Venture Base
Sand Caves
If you are coming from the North, you will drive right by some sand caves that are visible from the main road coming into Kanab. It is a steep hike up some rocks, but small kids can do it with supervision. It only takes about 30 minutes round trip depending on how long you stay in the caves.
World famous
Peekaboo Slot Canyon
Drive 15 minutes from Venture Base to the trail head for Peekaboo Slot Canyon. You will need to drive about 9 miles on sand to get to the canyon, so we recommend renting the right type of vehicle or touring there with All Ways Adventure.
45 Minute Drive
Nautilus Hike
We use the term "hike" reluctantly, as you can drive right up to this magnificent geographic feature or you can hike from distance. The decision is yours! You can google it's location, but it is off road for a mile or so. Any normal vehicle can drive there.
The drive alone is worth the trip
Zion National Park
From Venture Base, a 36 minute drive will take you through Zion National Park to the entrance where the shuttles are located. However, what most people don't know is the drive from the east side through the park is worth the trip in itself. You will go through a tunnel that was carved through a mountain, and see unbelievable sights! You can stop at any point on the road to adventure. This drive, plus all of the other world famous hikes Zion has to offer, is capable of taking up your entire trip!
