Red Cliffs Bird Fest at Greater Zion

Red Cliffs Bird Fest 2024 will showcase the birding habitat of Greater Zion during spring migration where the beauty of the birds is truly matched by the beauty of the scenery. Join us April 25–27 as we spend 3 days exploring the varied birding habitats throughout incredible Southwest Utah! Within one day, you can experience the birds of micro-wetlands, low deserts, riparian habitats, and the aspen-fir belt. This year’s field trips offer access to all these ranges including guided trips to the famous Lytle Ranch Preserve, along with Peregrine Fund biologist guided tours of the condors of the Vermilion Cliffs! After a fun day enjoying our field trips, you can stop by the Hilton Garden Inn for evenings filled with guest speakers, door prizes, complimentary hot and cold hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar. We will also feature a variety of exhibitors ranging from conservation groups, artists, photographers, rocks & crystals, a variety of live animals who call Greater Zion home, and more.
