By Carla Roberts(KUTV) Utah has an amazing backyard and you can burn a lot of calories if you get out and explore. This weekend, you can explore the mountains with the help of some experienced guides. July 26-28, the Cottonwood Canyons Foundation will host its annual Wasatch Wildflower Festival. There will be guided tours for hikers of all ages and abilities. The Wasatch Wildflower Festival will stop at Brighton and Solitude on Friday, July 26; Alta on Saturday, July 27, and Snowbird on Sunday, July 28. Recently, Mary Nickles took a hike at Snowbird Mountain Resort. She met up with Emily Moench, a spokeswoman for the resort. The resort has a paved trail that will take hikers to an overlook point. You will see some wildflowers and wildlife. On this trail in particular, anyone can come up here. It is paved the whole way and it is about a half of a mile, said Moench. For a $5 donation, you can take the Tram to Mineral Basin to see more flowers and stunning views. The guided tours vary in distance, depending on your skill level. There are even hikes for children. If you are really into rocks and nature, the Wasatch Wildflower Festival even offers a geology hike.
