Johnson Canyon, 10 miles outside of Kanab, is a perfect place for a year round retirement residence or a seasonal retreat.
The serene, natural environment, clean air, warm sunny days, wonderful views, healthy outdoor lifestyle opportunities and close proximity to National Parks and Monuments is an irresistable proposition.
A central location makes Kanab very accessible but still 'off the beaten path'.
Kanab is literally surrounded by National parks and Monuments within and hour's drive and the immediate area is also incredibly beautiful. |
The Kanab - Kane County Area
The Kanab area is growing popular for retirement with hiking, horseback riding, tennis and golf clubs and lots of organized activities in town. Many people with a wide variety of career backgrounds from locations across the USA have found it already.
Kanab is listed as the 8th healthiest city in the United States.
Johnson Canyon has always been sparsely populated and remains so today. There are still a few active alfalfa ranches today producing seas of green across the valley floor and it remains a very special and serene lifestyle opportunity … a place to relax, feel the heat of the sun and breathe freely.
The Kanab area is renowned for natural beauty, clean, clear air, awesome sunsets and big sky horizons that stretch as far as the eye can see. Ancient red rock formations and the famous 'vermillion colour' effect present stunning visuals.
Kane County offers easier access to more National Parks and Monuments than any other place on earth. Regions in the County are central to Bryce Canyon National Park, Zion Canyon National Park, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (Lake Powell).
