Salt Lake Temple Re-opens

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Journey: Experience the Reopening of the Salt Lake Temple in 2027

In 2027, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and faith-based travelers will have a rare opportunity to witness a historic milestone: the reopening of the Salt Lake Temple following years of extensive renovation and preservation. Before the temple returns to its sacred, dedicated purpose, visitors will be invited to tour its interior, a unique experience that may never be available again in their lifetime.

To commemorate this extraordinary event, Topaz Tours has created a special 5-day Utah itinerary that combines the spiritual significance of the Salt Lake Temple with some of the most breathtaking scenery in the American Southwest.

Discover the Heart of Church History

Your journey begins in Salt Lake City, where you'll explore Temple Square and several of the Church's most important historic sites, including the Salt Lake Temple, Conference Center, Historic Tabernacle, and Church History Museum. Guests will gain a deeper appreciation for the faith, history, and heritage that have shaped generations of Church members around the world.

The itinerary also includes visits to the Beehive House, FamilySearch Experience, and This Is The Place Heritage Park, offering meaningful insight into the lives and sacrifices of the early Saints who settled the Salt Lake Valley.

Experience Utah's Natural Wonders

Beyond its spiritual treasures, Utah is renowned for its spectacular landscapes. The tour continues to Moab, home to two of the nation's most iconic national parks.

At Arches National Park, guests will marvel at famous formations including Delicate Arch, Balanced Rock, Double Arch, and the Windows Section. Stunning viewpoints throughout the park showcase the beauty of Utah's red rock desert.

The adventure continues at Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park, where visitors will enjoy unforgettable vistas from Mesa Arch, Grand View Point, Green River Overlook, and Shafer Canyon. These dramatic landscapes provide moments of reflection and inspiration.

Complete Your Utah Adventure

The final day offers opportunities to explore additional attractions, including Antelope Island State Park, the Natural History Museum of Utah, Red Butte Garden, or the legendary Bonneville Salt Flats. Each destination highlights another facet of Utah's natural beauty and cultural heritage.

A Historic Opportunity Not to Miss

Available from April through September 2027, this exclusive itinerary offers an inspiring blend of faith, history, and adventure. Whether you're organizing a church group, family reunion, educational program, or faith-based tour, this experience is designed to create lasting memories while celebrating one of the most significant events in recent Church history.
