We made a quick stop at the Paria Townsite area on our way back to Kanab after a hike at Coyote Buttes South earlier in day. I wouldn't call this a hike, but we got out and checked out some of the (heavily worn) signs about the history of the site and got a close up view of the "rainbow mountains" nearby. I'd visited the site with a friend when I was in the area two years ago, and it has some very unique, colorful geology and interesting history, and it's just a few miles off Highway 89. The townsite ("Pahreah") grew as large as 47 families and included a mix of settlers and Paiutes, but it dwindled in size in the late 1800s after a major flood and problems growing crops. On a future visit, I want to spend more time exploring the old movie site nearby.
