• July 10 at Brighton Ski Resort,
• July 11 at Solitude Mountain Resort,

• July 18 at Alta Ski Area.

Guided walks and activities will be offered at each resort.

“During the peak of the pandemic last year, we had to move the Festival online.  While we are still taking precautions, we are eager to host guided walks and activities in the Canyons again and are experiencing incredible interest in the events this year.  Our guides have been training for weeks, scouting this year’s wildflower areas, and identifying dozens of species from bluebells and columbines to penstemons and buttercups.” Joanna Wheelton Campbell, Executive Director, Cottonwood Canyons Foundation

In partnership with Alta Community Enrichment, Alta, Snowbird, Solitude, Brighton, and the US Forest Service – Salt Lake City Ranger District, they have been hosting this event for decades. People visit from around the world, and locals attend year after year.
