I'm planning a visit to SLC and would love to try to time it for peak bloom in Albion Basin, knowing how difficult timing usually is. When is the usual time window for peak bloom? All the blooms in California are delayed by weeks because of our very cold spring. Is the same thing happening in Utah? So, if you had to guess, when should I come? Thanks.

Usually mid July but I would put it closer to late July this year.

Yes, Utah has had a very cold and wet spring. We have had the wettest March, April, and May ever recorded. Snow melts are several weeks behind at this point.
