Red Butte Garden and Arboretum

Type: Gardens

10Best Says

The Red Butte Garden and Arboretum stands on the far northern edge of Salt Lake City, occupying the margin between the city and Wasatch foothills, above. Filled with life, and spanning more than 100 acres, the gardens and arboretum of Red Butte contain 11 themed gardens and over 4 miles of foot paths. In the spring alone, over 300,000 bulbs bloom, saturating the grounds in color. In addition to the plants and trees, Red Butte hosts child- and adult-specific events, summer camps, orchid and bonsai shows, and educational tours. Spend your time learning about the plants themselves, taking photographs, painting, or hiking in the garden and along the adjacent Bonneville Shoreline Trail.
