Have you ever had an unforgettable encounter with wildlife in Utah? In Kanab, we may encounter a variety of furry and feathered creatures, including deer, raccoons, quail and even the occasional mountain lion. Without a doubt, from the majestic bighorn sheep of Zion National Park to the vibrant shorebirds of the Great Salt Lake, Utah is home to an incredible variety of animals and habitats. Now, you can celebrate these wild wonders through the eyes of talented Utah artists at the Kanab Museum.
