What This Popular Utah Attraction Looked Like In The Past Will Charm And Delight You
Today, Red Butte Garden covers 18 acres and includes five miles of hiking trails for Utah residents and visitors to enjoy, but it didn’t always look like it does now. Over the years, the garden has grown from a small area used for botany research to the beautiful space that currently exists. Check out these vintage photos of Red Butte, provided on its Facebook page:
