Red Butte Garden's Secret Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

edquest: The Garden built the new Six Bridges Trail over it. It was demolished. I'll find a new beautiful spot in the Garden and put cache in it.

Hi, Is it possible to un-archive a cache? This one is still intact even after the construction.

Geocache Description:

This cache is hidden near a secluded creekside picnic area not well known to the Garden’s visitors. The first 3/4 of the walk is a stroll on pavement through the botanic garden. The final 1/4 of the way is on maintained dirt trails. Look for the wooden stairs to the north when you near the creek. They will take you where you need to go. Park at the visitor center parking lot. You will need to enter the garden and pay admission ($6 for adults). Hours of operation are from 9 AM to 9 PM.

Red Butte Garden, a part of the University of Utah, is a non-profit organization located in Salt Lake City, Utah. With over 100 acres including display and natural gardens, walking paths and natural areas with hiking trails, Red Butte Garden is the largest botanical garden in the Intermountain West that tests, displays, and interprets regional horticulture.

The cache is not in a revegetation area. I moved it to a new hiding place. Sorry for
the initial placement. My bad.

This is a nice spot for a picnic if you want to bring some food with you.

The container is a wide-mouth Nalgene bottle painted to blend in. The original contents are as follows:

1. "Friends of Red Butte Garden" stickers
2. several plastic insects
3. a C3PO action figure
