KANAB ATV/UTV FIELD GUIDE
Sunset on the Dunes: Drive a UTV into Kanab’s Coral Pink Glow

Sunset on the Dunes: Drive a UTV into Kanab’s Coral Pink Glow.
Embark on an evening run across the Coral Pink Sand Dunes from Kanab, a compact, perfectly timed outing that stitches together slot-canyon light, open sand, and a dune-top sunset. Local guides lead a two-hour UTV experience that includes sandboarding and photo-ready overlooks, with participants driving their own UTVs for an active, close-to-the-land ride.

Outing Highlights
Peekaboo Slot Canyon Approach
The evening begins with a guided UTV run to the glowing walls of Peekaboo Slot Canyon, where guides share local stories and geologic context as the light softens and photographic opportunities multiply.
Sandboarding on the Peekaboo Dunes
Wide-open dunes invite sandboarding and hands-on desert fun—an active stop on the route that lets riders stretch their legs and try a classic desert sport before sunset.
Dune-Top Sunset Viewpoint
The tour culminates at a panoramic dune top where the sky turns gold and pink—an intentionally timed finish to watch the Kanab sunset with the dunes as foreground.
