💡 Tips from Dan
Your Road Warrior Guide
- •When visiting the Alta Wildflower Festival, the best time to go is typically mid-July, when the alpine wildflowers are in full bloom. Dress in layers, as mountain weather can change quickly; breathable clothing and sturdy hiking shoes are essential. Don’t forget to bring a refillable water bottle, sunscreen, and a camera for stunning photo opportunities against the backdrop of vibrant blooms and majestic peaks. For insider knowledge, attend the guided wildflower walks to learn about the native species and their habitats. Be mindful of local customs, such as respecting the natural environment by staying on designated trails. Lastly, remember to carry bear spray for safety while hiking in the area. Enjoy the festival, and immerse yourself in the beauty of Alta’s wildflowers!
