The Parry Lodge in Kanab is a tradition, a landmark, and an
asset to this area. In 1930 Whit
Parry, along with his brothers, Chauncey and Gronway, bought the Justin M.
Johnson home, built in 1904, which became the main building at Parry
Lodge. The Parry brothers prepared a portfolio of pictures of
Southern Utah and in 1943 they traveled to Hollywood hoping to convince
producers of the area’s scenic value.
They succeeded. In the
years to come, the Lodge would gain world –wide recognition, and Mr. Parry and
his staff would feed, lodge and transport actors and the technicians of the
movie industry. Parry Lodge has
always had a reputation for excellency in lodging and food. The present owner is Steve M. and Judy
Heaton.
