What to do and see in Utah, United States: The Best Churches & Cathedrals

June 6, 2021 Dorsey Hagwood

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.

Logan Utah Temple

Reviewed By 792shaelyng

It's a beautiful artifice, inside and out. But what strikes me the most about this building and my many visits over the years is that the real beauty comes from the great feeling of peace and love that come as you enter the grounds and the temple itself. While it's true that you must hold a recommend as issued by the Church of Jesus Christ to enter, the special feeling and spiritual safety are available as you wander the beautiful and well kept grounds. I'm always thankful to make my way up the hill to visit this beautiful part of Cache Valley

Payson Utah Temple

Reviewed By 14MarkS14

During the open house, before this Temple was dedicated for service, it was fascinating to see all the different cultural influences on the architectural design. How they were able to blend them into working piece of art is amazing. Here are the separate cultures represented either in direct usage or influence: 1. The foundation is in a + which is very Russian Orthodox as opposed to cathedrals that have the + with a tail for a full cross. 2. The overall exterior is a gentle style with suggestions of the Nauvoo Temple, bringing in early American designs. 3. The stained glass has strong influence from Chinese color patterns. 4. The stair cases are very sweeping French renaissance styles. 5. The Hebrew culture is everywhere but mostly in the ceiling designs and Old Testament font on the cattle. 6. In the Celestial Room many styles come together. The Egyptian frond columns, the Corinthian columns, the out-corners with the Roman bundled birch limps held together with a leather strap (in plaster) that was symbolic of the Roman believe of the community must come together as one -- only the ax head is removed. 7. Utah pioneer-style murals in the baptistery. Again, they all come together an work to inspire. Kind of like how things ought to be on this earth. Enjoy the difference and let us worship together.

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.

Cathedral of the Madeleine

Reviewed By 76CB - Framingham, United States

Based on information from the Utah Office of Tourism (300 North State Street, SLC), we drove down the hill to South Temple Street for a quick visit to the Cathedral of the Madeleine. Beautiful stained glass, quiet time, interesting organ. Being Ash Wednesday the church was open and getting ready for services. We found parking on the side street easily. Would work this in with the self guided tour down South Temple Street as suggested by the tourism office, next time!
