Eagle Gate Close-up - Salt Lake City - Utah

Eagle Gate Close-up. Eagle Gate sits at the corner of State Street and South Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Eagle was originally wooden, and marked the entrance to Brigham Young’s property at City Creek an area between the state capitol, the Wasatch Foothills and the downtown urban center of the city. As Salt Lake City grew and streets widened, Eagle Gate has gone through a couple of updates since the original gate was built. In both cases, the designer was a direct descendant of Brigham Young, first his son, and then grandson.

The current eagle is bronze, sitting on a beehive (a Mormon symbol of industry), and weighs more than 4,000 pounds. Along with the Beehive and Lion Houses that stand beside it, Eagle Gate is one of the most recognized pioneer landmarks in Utah.
