The Wasatch Wildflower Festival (WWF) is a four-day event hosted at the four Cottonwood Canyon Ski Areas to celebrate the beauty and diversity of wildflowers in the Wasatch and to educate visitors on how to ensure the protection of this important natural resource.  The WWF’s guided walks and activities are designed to reinforce careful stewardship and awareness of the ecology of the watershed environment.  The festival is not designed to promote more visitorship, but to instead capture the interest of the community and create a sustainable way of celebrating this important and beautiful season in the canyons.  Another goal of the festival is to disperse or help balance use in this window of high visitorship in the canyons.
