US 89 Utah




The Big Indian below is described in the backside of the card above.
We hope to stop in Orderville and ask some questions about The Big Indian.
Wonder what he said to the kids?

Here's a nice old view of the interior of Kanab's Peaches restaurant.
Kanab has undergone major changes in the past ten years but Parry's Lodge remains largely the same.
The business block on the right has remained mostly unchanged from this 1960's view.
Above is the back side of the card showing the 1960's view.  Note that the card is postmarked 1967.

US 89 through Provo.  Note the BYU "Y" on the mountain behind the motel.  Also note the phone booth, sign of a bygone era.
