@frobozz I like things like this. Is #Johnsoncanyon road hard to find? Don’t see it on map? Need four wheel drive? Thanks

Kanab, Utah was a hotbed of western movie and TV making from the 1920s until the 1980s.

The buildings in these images are part of the remains of the set for the American western TV series "Gunsmoke". They are on Johnson Canyon Road which is about 7 miles east of Kanab.

One of the things that made this location great is that Johnson Canyon has sheer walls which makes it perfect for ambushes where the bad guys are on top shooting down at the good guys. And although the canyon is short, when you are in the middle you can't see out either end. Great for getting trapped in a "box canyon".
