The Wasatch Wildflower Festival is a collaboration between Alta Community Enrichment, The Cottonwood Canyons Foundation, and the Snowbird Renaissance Center. It is also supported through the efforts of Alta Ski Area, Solitude Ski Area, Brighton Ski Area, Snowbird Ski and Summer resort and The U.S. Forest Service.
The Festival's goal is to provide a fun and encouraging environment for people to learn about the wide diversity of wildflowers that are found in the Wasatch Mountains as well as the protection of the watershed.
Alta's festival day was on July 18th, 2009 and was quite successful and exciting, thank you to all of you who participated and volunteered their time. We had 407 people sign up for Wildflower Walks for 2009. Shuttles for our groups to Albion Basin was provided by Alta Shuttle.
Alta Community Enrichment, Alta Environmental Center, Friends of Alta and Cottonwood Canyons Foundation all provided educational information for our participants about the wildflowers in our community. Music was provided by Savanna & The Michigan City String Band. Childrens Art was hosted by Leann Galloway. Food booth by Desert Flower catering.
