My adventure started about 10:15AM. I retraced my travel route from yesterday, so that I would be sure to find the places I found yesterday by accident. I took the Trax to Fort Douglas. Unfortunately, the Fort was closed.
Next stop was the Red Butte Garden (again, Butte with a long "u"). The Red Butte Garden was a bit of a hike, but well worth it. The garden is locate slightly up the side of a mountain. It was a very nice garden. I liked the layout; just by following the paths, you can go through the whole garden without any difficulty. That's good for people like me who can get lost walking in a straight line. After the garden, I went to the Hogle Zoo and spent about 2 1/2 hours there. The zoo was small, but it was nice.
After the zoo, I walked back to the hostel again (1 1/2 hour walk). I had dinner at KFC and called it a night.
I'll put together a slideshow of my pictures another time.
To keep with my personal photo maximum of 25 for a slideshow, I am posting two photos that I deleted from my Red Butte Garden file to stay within the 25 max limit. Since my Hogle Zoo file has less photos, I didn't post any with this blog entry.

It's called Red Butte Garden -- look at the sign in your top picture.
Great place. I have a membership there. They specialize in local plants, stuff that is xeriscaped and thrives in the desert. I'm glad you got to see it.
Yep, it is Red Butte Garden. Strange, I even inserted "Red" into my notes at some point. I must have been a bit too hung up on the pronounciation of "Butte" and overlooked the Red in my blog entries. I'll make the corrects momentarily.
