In October 2008 I visited all thirteen Utah temples. It was then that almost all of the photographs were taken that appear in this series of posts. To download a photograph click on the image to obtain the full resolution of 3264 x 2448 pixels with a file size of 3 to 4Mb.

The temple is visible for miles throughout northern Utah's Cache Valley

Logan Utah Temple Impressions

My wife’s parents were married in the Logan temple. I have visited the grounds before but this is the first time I have been inside the temple. On my last visit in October I arrived in the early morning and you can’t miss the temple in the dark. It is on a hill and well lit.

After leaving the temple there was a cold wind blowing as a storm moved in. It is always interesting to view a temple with a backdrop of storm clouds.

The exterior was originally painted an off-white color to hide the dark, rough-hewn limestone

    Wonderful information on Temples. I don`t believe the Logan Temple was dedicated in 1984. A small typing error. Thank You.

      You are right, it should have been 1884. I’ve corrected it.

    Nice photos and information. I play around with time lapse as a hobby and have a DVD with the five northern Utah temples. Let me know via e-mail and I’ll send you one.
