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.
