my original list were typical conifers within the boundaries of the park and most of the park is below 7200', however, you certainly are right that there could very well be some in the various high plateaus in the kolob canyon section of the park (possibly other high elevation conifers). i'll have to check this out sometime.
did you mean 400' higher or are you extending beyond the boundary of the park?

Anyway, here's a good one for those interested. Where is there a small forest or at least a grove of Douglas Firs in the Robbers Roost Region? Kelsey mentions that there's a few Douglas Firs in the Middle Fork of Robbers Roost Canyon, but it's only a few trees and not enough to be a forest or grove. There is at least one more location in the Robbers Roost area with a forest/grove of Douglas Firs.

Wow, quite surprising to see a Sequoia Gigantus in Utah. Pretty sure you don't have any S. Semperivens though (Coast Redwood or California Redwood). They like it wet and temperate and grow in my yard. I think Bo's answer of Redwood was actually just as acceptable as "Sequoia" as one of the common names for the Sequoia Giganteum is Sierra Redwood and the family of the two is equally Sequoias or Redwoods.
While the Giant is bigger in volume the Coast is taller and IMO more graceful in proportions.It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life. - Ten Bears, "The Outlaw Josie Wales"

There is another sequoia in front of Frontier Plunder in Springdale, that's the shop next to Bit & Spur.

there are a few planted in the salt lake valley, some are on the university of utah campus. also, reno has them planted all over the place along the streets as well as in folks' yards.
