The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Wasatch Range, Wasatch Range

January 29, 2022 Rosalyn Ihle

Stretching 160 miles through Utah, the Wasatch Range makes a rugged, glacial backdrop for the 85% of the state’s population living within 15 miles. Mount Nebo is highest at 11,928 feet, but the peaks around Alta and Park City are most popular. "The greatest snow on earth" falls on these spectacular slopes. Lone Peak’s granite outcrops provide top climbing. Canyons and valleys are loved by fly-fishermen and hikers. After all that adventure, retire to a hip restaurant or enticing hot tub in chic Park City.

Wow, a Saturday morning drive on the Guardsman Pass between Park city and Salt Lake City is definitely an adventure. The beauty is incredible. The curves, cliffs and bikers make it very challenging but fun. Lots of pull offs,hikers and bikers.

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

Roots of Knowledge

Reviewed By rhitman32

Free admission to view a beautiful and thoughtfully designed stained glass wall in the University library. It is well lighted in the afternoons when the sun is in the west. There are limits on the number of visitors right now. We have been there multiple times and enjoy it each time. The team that created the windows works out of a studio at Thanksgiving Point and a tour there is also interesting.

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.
