The town of Kanab sits between several different national parks in Southern Utah – visitors can tour Zion and Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, and the northern rim of the Grand Canyon. Each year, the scenery plays a starring role at the Kanab Writers Conference. We have some of the most beautiful area in the country,” says conference director Kayeleen Hamblin. “We make sure to incorporate it into our event.”

The 2021 conference kicks off on Nov. 4 with an optional plein air hike and writing retreat, led by experienced trail guides who reveal dinosaur tracks and hidden lakes among the red rock landscape. There’s plenty of time for writing and reflection, and participants are encouraged to bring pen and notebook.
