America - Utah

Salt Lake City, Utah - Temple Square

LDS Temple

All LDS temples have a golden angel on top


The temple is made of limestone. The walls are 9 feet thick at the base and 6 feet thick at the top. It took 40 years to build.

This was the temple they used while waiting for the big one to be completed.

The pipe organ in the Mormon Tabernacle. It contains more than 10,000 pipes!

We were lucky enough to hear an organ recital this day.

The tabernacle is circular and is completely surrounded by doors.

A fountain and monuments in the courtyard.

Looking out to the magnificent Rocky Mountains.

While driving south toward Zion National Park, these mountains were part of our view.


The landscape is becoming more desert-like.

A dust storm to our right.

The road approaching Zion Canyon - close to sunset.

A pull-over on the side of the road.

This photo was taken from the Bed and Breakfast we stayed in.

We began our journey in Salt Lake City, Utah in Temple Square, the central location of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Then traveled south until we reached Springdale, Utah at the foot of Zion National Park. Unbelievable landscape! Little did I know that I hadn't seen anything yet!
