Kanab, Utah, serves as a gateway to some of the most dramatic sandstone formations and slot canyons in the American Southwest. This desert town offers more than just access to national parks; it’s a launching point for immersive photography tours with Kanab Photo Tours. Specializing in slot canyon excursions and scenic sunset trips, this outfit offers a uniquely tailored experience for photographers and outdoor enthusiasts keen on capturing Utah’s surreal landscapes.

The Photographer's Choice Slot Canyon Tour brings adventurers into iconic, narrow passageways carved over millennia by water and wind, where shafts of light create complex shadows over smooth sandstone walls.
