The Sand Caves are a very popular photo spot, located just 5 miles north of Kanab, Utah. The caves are man-made from a past mining operation in the area. It's a very short hike to explore the caves, but there is a little bit of scrambling required to get up to them. It's a fun and relatively easy adventure the whole family will enjoy. If you visit, please don't further contribute to the graffiti on the walls of the caves!
