10 PAROWAN Iron County Fair - Mike Saemisch ELEVATION: 6,000 FEET. PAROWAN POPULATION: 2,790 THE MOTHER TOWN Parowan s Mother Town nickname comes from being the original southern Utah settlement that spurred the colonization of the west, including places like Cedar City, St George and Las Vegas. Every corner of Parowan has a story to tell from their preserved pioneer homes, to their Heritage Park, Old Rock Church and Meeks Pond. As you explore Parowan you ll observe that folks hold tight to their roots of faith, family and love of country, celebrating them whenever the occasion presents itself- like when all the kids from elementary to high school age perform pioneer dances at the town birthday party or when descendant families come home for the annual Iron County Fair. Cradling you with a hometown sense of pride, Parowan is straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting with her beautiful tree lined streets, an old fashioned Main Street and a noticeable lack of traffic lights (no need). Simply put, Parowan is a sweet piece of Americana. VISITOR CENTER 5 SOUTH MAIN, (435) PAROWAN.ORG OPEN ALL YEAR MONDAY-SATURDAY 10A.M. - 5P.M. 10

You ve entered a time warp and a magical evening under the stars is about to begin. 12

Jones Theatre, a stunning modern facility featuring contemporary works, and the indoor Anes Studio Theatre, an intimate 200 seat performance space. For some, Shakespeare may be a little overwhelming.

24 HIKING TRAILS Kanarraville Falls - Alex Santiago HIKING TRAILS KANARRAVILLE FALLS Kanarraville Falls, as the name implies, is a waterfall hike with the bonus of a slot canyon. The hike is about 2.5 miles, mainly through water so you will get your feet wet, but that s part of fun! There are two waterfalls; some might call them obstacles but we call them awesome. Hikers must scale the ten foot tall ladder on the first waterfall in order to continue through the slot canyon. Beyond the first waterfall is a natural water slide and flat rocks that make a perfect snack spot. A bit further up the trail is deeper water and narrowing slot section to the second waterfall. At this point, the trail continues a bit then becomes impassable without specialized gear so this is a good place to turnaround. Trailhead is located in the town of Kanarraville (south of Cedar City along Old Hwy-91). At 100 North turn east toward the water tank, park in the designated parking lot and pay the $10 parking fee. Be mindful of flash flood dangers, consult the weather before you go and use your noggin. Also, leave pets at home and pack out all garbage-the creek is the water supply for Kanarraville town.

35 MUST DO S Kolob is one of the few national parks that can be experienced from the comfort of your own vehicle - but why limit yourself?

52 HISTORIC / DISCOVERY Parowan Gap Petroglyphs-Alex Santiago HISTORIC / DISCOVERY PAROWAN PAROWAN GAP PETROGLYPHS Wind, water and sand carved out this natural passageway that was once used as a major thoroughfare by ancient people. The different cultures are evident by the hundreds of petroglyphs carved into Parowan Gap including geometric designs, lizards, snakes, mountain sheep, bear claws and human figures. With over 90 panels and 1,500 figures, the Gap is believed to be one of the most concentrated collections of petroglyphs in the West - and one of the most accessible (just a few miles off the Interstate). Researchers have identified what they believe to be solar and lunar calendars, plus hunting and cultural glyphs which provided early civilizations with a calendaring system where various solar time events are marked by shadows cast by the natural rock formations. The Bureau of Land Management recently completed a project to provide long-term preservation of the resources at the site including a visitor trail, public parking, restroom facilities and several interpretive signs. The signs tell the different interpretations and meanings of the rock writings, specifically what they mean to the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah. Getting to Parowan Gap: From Cedar City drive 13 miles north on Hwy U-130, then east on Parowan Gap road for 2.5 miles from Parowan Main Street travel west on 400 North for 10.5 miles.

81 UTAH S LIQUOR LAWS Utah has recently modernized its liquor laws. Adults of legal age can order and consume beer, wine and hard liquor at bars, pubs, restaurants and a variety of other establishments throughout the state. In the past, a "private club membership" was required to enter bars however, that requirement has been eliminated. You must be 21 to purchase or consume alcoholic beverages in Utah. Alcoholic beverages (wine, liquor, and beer) are available two ways in Utah: by the drink, or packaged by the bottle. Mixed drinks and wine may be ordered with food in most restaurants from 11:30am - 1am, and beer may be ordered from 11:30am - 1am. Patrons may be served at their tables or in waiting areas. Taverns and beer establishments sell beer from 11:30am - 1am. This includes a variety of venues: taverns, lounges, cabarets, nightclubs, cafes, bowling centers, golf courses, etc. Beer may be purchased without ordering food and is sold on draft and in bottles and cans. (Service in a licensed restaurants does require that you order food with your drink.) Beer sales "to go" are also allowed, but not in open containers. Packaged beer is also available at supermarkets, grocery and convenience stores. The maximum alcohol content is four percent by volume, or 3.2 percent by weight for beer sold in taverns, beer establishments and stores. Local stores are closed on Sundays, holidays and other designated times. Please call in advance to check time. Cedar City (435) S Providence Center Dr Parowan (435) E Center St Brian Head (435) N Hwy 143 (inside Apple Annie's Country Store) Packaged liquor, wine, and heavy beer "to go" are sold at state liquor stores throughout Utah. State liquor stores accept cash, check, and credit cards, and are closed on Sundays and holidays. Other package agencies are often located in hotels and resorts for customer convenience. Many hotels and resorts offer alcoholic beverages via room service. 81
