Adjacent to Red Butte, and blending in very well with the University of Utah campus, are the 1,500 acres of the State Arboretum of Utah. The arboretum's conservatory (open by appointment only) covers 1,100 square feet and contains more than 400 different plant varieties. You can walk at your leisure among the arboretum's over-8,000 trees, among which is one of the United States' largest collections of Russian Olive.
