    i would be interested to find out if this is true. i wasn't sure if zion was high enough.

    i do know that zion also has (native) singleleaf pinyon as well

    According to thane that's northern utah. southern utah starts at a latitude below the black ridge.

    There are Engelmann Spruce on the road to Smith Cabin, though it's possible that they are just outside the park boundary. There are also Engelmann Spruce in the hills north of Kolob Reservoir, though those are outside the park boundary. There are Engelmann Spruce on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, which about the same elevation as the highest parts of Zion. Engelmanns are also present in Bryce Canyon and even the highpoint in Bryce is less than 400 feet higher than the highest parts of Zion and the highest elevations in Zion are probably wetter as well. Shaded areas above 8000 feet should be just high enough, but some could possibly even survive lower in shaded canyons.

    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?

    I meant higher. Typo. Oops.

    Yes; I thought you might be interested.

    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.

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

    the coast redwood is one of the most beautiful trees, imo

    There are two here in Ogden. Both are about 60 -70 ft tall.
