“The remote Arizona Strip north of the Grand Canyon: rolling sagebrush plains, volcanic cinder cones, and lonely highways stretching to the horizon. Untouched, isolated, deeply cinematic.”
About this location
The Arizona Strip, managed by BLM's Kanab Field Office, is one of the most isolated stretches of public land in the contiguous United States. Located between the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and the Utah border, this vast plateau of sagebrush, volcanic fields, and lonely two-lane roads offers filmmakers an authentic sense of desolation and remoteness. The landscape reads as timeless American West — flat, wind-swept, with volcanic cinder cones breaking the horizon. US-89 provides primary access with good staging areas nearby. Commercial filming requires a BLM Special Recreation Permit from the Kanab Field Office. Low usage traffic means productions can achieve isolated wide shots with minimal pedestrian interference. Ideal for road movies, thrillers, and character-driven Westerns. Kanab, Utah (a half hour away) offers lodging and a surprisingly robust local film production support community.
