Wildflowers
of Zion NP
Welcome to Naturalist Apps!
Home of geo-referenced natural world apps.
The first Naturalist Apps offering is a wildflower app for Zion National Park, one of Utah’s mighty five National Parks. The Wildflowers and other Plants of Zion NP android app will help you easily identify over 200 of the most common flowers and plants in Zion. Once installed on your mobile device, the app is like having a naturalist pocket guide along as you hike the popular trails in Zion. This wildflower app is easy to use and will hopefully enhance your visit by deepening your awareness and appreciation of Zion’s natural environment. Enjoy a hike and learn about the flora as you take in the stunning scenery of Zion National Park.
The app combines photos, descriptive information, and interactive maps with GPS location points where various wildflowers and plants can be seen first-hand. It can be used as a guided tour to learn about plants along a popular trail, to seek out locations of specific plants, or as a general reference to Zion Park wildflowers.
The photos at the core of this wildflower app will often suffice on a standalone basis in terms of identifying features and will hopefully help users better appreciate the beauty and diversity of plant life when visiting spectacular natural areas like Zion National Park. *For now a handful of plants included in the app are lacking photos, but this will hopefully be remedied this season and even more plants and locational data are expected in future versions.
This app also offers an easy way to help engage young minds in learning about the natural world and its diversity of plants and wildflowers.The chance to participate in a bio-hunt can help make the journey the destination.
This wildflower app is built around a searchable database that provides trail and location-specific information for where and when to see a variety of wildflowers and other plants when visiting Zion National Park. Once downloaded the app can be used without a data connection. The map screen displays plant locations on map overlays and will also track your relative location whenever the location feature on your mobile device is active and GPS satellite signals are accessible.
Have fun exploring Zion…
Thank you!
