Chandler Sunset Viewing: Everything You Need to Know

Wildlife watching near our vacation rental locations connects guests with the remarkable animals that inhabit the diverse ecosystems of Arizona and Utah. From desert-adapted species in the Sonoran lowlands to mountain dwellers in the Wasatch Range, the wildlife viewing opportunities near our properties are genuinely extraordinary.

Arizona Wildlife

The desert around Gilbert and Queen Creek is home to roadrunners, Gila woodpeckers, jackrabbits, and javelinas. Harris's hawks hunt cooperatively in groups, a behavior unique among raptors. Desert bighorn sheep can be spotted along the Salt River canyon walls, and the occasional bobcat makes an appearance in desert preserves during dawn and dusk hours.

Utah Wildlife

The Ogden Valley near Eden supports populations of moose, elk, mule deer, and black bears. The meadows around Liberty and Huntsville are excellent for spotting moose, particularly during early morning and evening. Bald eagles winter along the reservoir, and the mountain forests host a variety of hawk and owl species. Always observe wildlife from a safe distance and never approach or feed wild animals.
