What’s the weather going to be like?
Kanab, Utah, is at 4.970 feet elevation and is high desert. Daytime temperatures will likely be mid-70s F and evenings in the mid-40s. Rain is uncommon and we chose this time of year for favorable dark skies and clear horizons (as much as can be predicted), because we hope you can go out shooting under crisp skies every night.
