The "Oak Tunnel" at Red Butte -- Quercus gambelii
Nestled against the low mountains on the eastern boundary of the Great Salt Lake basin, and within easy reach of a bustling city, a mixture of native forest and exotic trees, manicured gardens, thriving grasses and perennials, create an oasis within a desert. With a little extra water, and much sun, this profusion of life awaits discovery.
