The Lone Ranger
Utah's Little Hollywood
Kanab Utah "Walk of Fame"
Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels exemplified what heroes were supposed to be. They started their roles as "The Lone Ranger" and "Tonto" on the T.V. series in 1949 and would continue until 1957. Two feature films were also produced during the long run of the series, "The Lone Ranger and The Lost City of Gold" in 1958 for United Artists Productions and the highly regarded Warner Bros. film "The Lone Ranger" filmed right here in Kanab in 1956. Both Clayton and Jay were honored with their stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and we also honor them with Kanab's Little Hollywood Walk of Fame plaque. "Hi Yo Silver, Away"!!!
