The World's Most Beautiful Places
The Jordan River Parkway is a 45-mile multi-use trail system that parallels the Jordan River as it flows north from Utah Lake to the Great Salt Lake through Utah’s Salt Lake Valley, along the Wasatch Front. The parkway includes a paved trail for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as sections of equestrian trail suitable for horseback riding in the cities of Murray, Bluffdale and South Jordan.
The Provo City Center Temple, located in Provo, Utah, is a stunning example of historic preservation and religious significance. Originally built as the Provo Tabernacle in the late 19th century, the structure was severely damaged by a fire in 2010. Rather than demolish the remains, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced plans to restore and transform the building into a temple. Completed in 2016, the temple retains much of the original architecture, blending Gothic and Romanesque Revival styles with modern design elements. Its soaring spires, stained glass windows, and meticulously landscaped grounds make it a cherished landmark. The Provo City Center Temple serves as a place of worship, reflection, and community for Latter-day Saints, symbolizing renewal and faith.
The Brigham City Gateway Arch is an iconic structure located in Brigham City, Utah, that serves as a welcoming landmark for the city. This historic arch spans Main Street and features the words “Gateway to the World’s Greatest Wild Bird Refuge,” referencing the nearby Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, a renowned destination for birdwatching and natural beauty.
Brigham City lies north of Salt Lake City, at the base of the Wasatch Front Mountain range.
