These programs typically run on weekends during peak season.

Explore small towns: Take day trips to nearby towns like Kane for shopping and local culture. Scott M. recommends: "Go into Kane and discover the small town for a few hours." Most towns are within a 30-minute drive of the major campgrounds in the region.
