Snow Canyon (located in southwestern Utah) is home to a diversity of plant and wildlife species not occurring elsewhere in the state. Located at the intersection of the Mojave Desert, Great Basin Desert, and Colorado Plateau, the park averages 7.5 inches of rainfall a year. Vegetation includes desert-adapted species such as creosote bush, narrow-leaf yucca, sand sage, black brush, scrub oak, and desert willow. If spring and fall conditions are right, wildflowers light up the park with a showy display of blooms. Wildlife watchers may see coyotes, kit foxes, quail, roadrunners, leopard lizards, gopher snakes, and canyon tree frogs.
