There is something truly special about surrounding yourself with fields of wildflowers. While you can always go for a hike or even a scenic drive to find these seas of wildflowers, you can also attend the annual Wasatch Wildflower Festival. This multi-day event is held at the four Cottonwood Canyon ski areas and is designed to celebrate the wildflowers found in the Wasatch Mountains. Whether you love wildflowers or you just want to spend some time outdoors, this summer festival in Utah is one of the most colorful of the year and you won’t want to miss it.
