You can’t miss the LDS Temple in Logan, Utah — it’s nearly 120,000 square feet and sits on 9 acres. The Mormons don’t mess around when it comes to architecture. Volunteer laborers built the five-story temple during a seven-year period from 1877 to 1884. It’s an amazing sight, made even more dramatic by the surrounding mountains of Cache Valley. The flood lights, which were permanently installed on the temple’s 63rd anniversary, add a little extra drama at dusk.
