Lone Cedar Tree

Although willows grew along the banks of the streams a lone cedar tree near this spot became Utah's first famous landmark. Someone in a moment of thoughtlessness cut it down, leaving only the stump which is a part of this monument.

"In the glory of my prime I was the pioneer's friend"

Marker is on South 600 East south of East Broadway / E 300 S, in the median.
