10 Sacred & Religious Sites in Utah That You Shouldn't Miss

October 9, 2021 Janean Rudisill

Welcome to “The Greatest Snow on Earth” – Utah’s paradise for all outdoor enthusiasts! As host of the 2002 Winter Olympics, Park City knows how to entertain winter fun seekers. Snowboarders and skiers head for miles of spectacular slopes with deep fluffy powder and breathtaking mountain views. The Olympic Park provides family-friendly ski programs, rides and shows. Alta, Sundance, Snowbird and Brighton are other popular destinations for cross country and Alpine skiers. Those alluring snowy slopes turn to rolling wildflower fields in the summer. Golfing, fishing, horseback riding and water sports replace chilly outdoor sports adventures. Corral the family, pack a picnic and catch one of the ski lifts for an afternoon of hiking or mountain biking along scenic trails. Head to Salt Lake City, where Temple Square hosts millions of visitors a year. Bryce Canyon and Arches National Park are famous for surreal landscapes from horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters to unusual rock formations and hundreds of natural sandstone arches. Closer to home, wander along the quaint main streets of mountain villages to browse, shop and enjoy lunch at an outdoor café. At the end of the day, head home for an outdoor barbecue and an evening of games. Home rentals blend privacy, space and comfort with the cost-saving advantage of eating some meals at home.

Short, informative tours are offered every few minutes in different languages and I highly recommend taking one. In addition to walking through the beautiful grounds with lovely flower beds, great architecture and art, we were able to enter the Tabernacle and listen to an organ concert.

Salt Lake Temple

The original granite temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Reviewed By prchearing

The Salt Lake Temple is a very special and beautiful place. The building is magnificent, and its history is fascinating. It was built by pioneers who had been driven out of the United States and established their home in the desert valley of the Rocky Mountains. The massive stones for the building were cut from a granite quarry in the canyons and hauled by ox cart. What an amazing feat. The grounds are always beautiful, and the Christmas lights are spectacular! However, I think the best feature of this place is the sweet peaceful feeling that rests on you when you enter. The temple and the grounds are expected to be closed for four year for refurbishment.

St. George Temple

Open to the public, the St. George Temple is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. Visitors can walk through the colorful gardens lined with towering trees, sit by the fountains and cascading waterfall, enjoy the beautiful views, and feel the peace of the grounds. While you're there, you can take a guided tour at the Visitors' Center.
