A couple temples in view. I saw others on my journey but these are right next to the freeway.
UPPER: Orem UT Temple. The Orem Utah Temple will be the twenty-second temple built in Utah and the sixth built in Utah County. The Orem Utah Temple will be a three-story building of approximately 70,000 square feet with a central spire. A 20,000-square-foot meetinghouse will also be constructed at the temple site.
The property was purchased in 2004 from a descendant of Latter-day Saint Niels Williamson who emigrated from Norway in 1870. Three of his great-great-grandchildren watched the groundbreaking for the temple from the fence that separates the temple plot from their own land. The groundbreaking ceremony for the Orem Utah Temple was held on the same day as the groundbreaking for the San Pedro Sula Honduras Temple.
LOWER: Taylorsville UT Temple. Plans to construct a 70,000 sq ft temple in the city were announced on October 5, 2019. The Taylorsville Utah Temple will be the twenty-third temple built in Utah and the fifth built in the Salt Lake Valley, following the Salt Lake Temple (1893), the Jordan River Utah Temple (1981), the Draper Utah Temple (2009), and the Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple (2009).
