Itinerary
This tour starts with a visit to a mid-elevation riparian site that winds through a mountain valley surrounded by sage-covered hillsides. Here we look for things like Black-headed Grosbeak, Gray Catbird, "Northwest" Willow Flycatcher, Brewer's Sparrow, and Lazuli Bunting. We'll follow a river high into the Uinta Mountains to seek out Western Tanager, American Dipper, Hammond's, Cordilleran, and Dusky Flycatcher, MacGillivray's Warbler, Fox Sparrow, and Violet-green Swallow in a monatane riparian habitat that is a world away from the city we departed in the morning. Ascending to almost 11,000' we find our selves in high elevation conifer where birds like Pine Grosbeak, Red Crossbill, Gray Jay, Clark's Nutcracker, Mountain Bluebird, and American Three-toed Woodpecker can be found. This tour provides a great cross section of the birds found in the mountains of the west and only takes up half a day during the summer!

About Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City is Utah's capital, set between the Great Salt Lake and the Wasatch Range, with a grand temple square and ski slopes close by.
Salt Lake City lies in a high valley between the Great Salt Lake and the Wasatch Range. Mormon pioneers led by Brigham Young founded it in 1847. Temple Square, the heart of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is its centre, with the granite temple and the domed Tabernacle, home of a famous organ and choir. The Utah State Capitol stands on a hill to the north.
