Activity Overview

Red Butte Garden is a public garden on the campus of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. The over 100-acre garden is the state's official arboretum, and features diverse display gardens, plant collections, and 5 miles of hiking trails. In the summertime, the garden is also used to hold a variety of concerts and live performances in its impressive 3,000-seat amphitheatre.

If you're looking for a place where you can get some fresh air and enjoy the serenity of Utah's natural beauty, then head to Red Butte Garden for a relaxing day surrounded by gardens in a mountain setting.

Things to Do
