Monticello Utah Temple

Monticello Utah Temple - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints North 200 West, Monticello, Utah,United States/Temple Locale Located about 60 miles south of Moab, Utah—a recreational hot spot for bikers, hikers, and river runners—the Monticello Utah Temple sits on a gently rising slope on the west side of the little town of Monticello. In the distance, the enchanting Abajo Mountains play backdrop to the temple and the adjacent meetinghouse, joined by a shared parking lot. Patrons come from the Four Corners region. Temple Facts The Monticello Temple was the first of the new generation of temples as conceived by President Gordon B. Hinckley. The Monticello Utah Temple was the eleventh temple built in Utah. The Monticello Utah Temple was constructed in just eight months. The Monticello Utah Temple originally supported a white angel Moroni statue atop its spire. Recognizing the problem that the statue seemed to "disappear" on cloudy days, officials directed the statue to be replaced with a taller, gold-leafed Moroni about a year after dedication. The white statue was gold leafed and installed atop the Columbus Ohio Temple. Once the smallest temple of the Church, the Monticello Utah Temple was originally just 7,000 square feet and accommodated a single ordinance room and a single sealing room. Just fours years after its dedication, the Monticello Utah Temple was rededicated in 2002 after an expansion project that added a second ordinance room, second sealing room, entrance canopy, waiting room, additional offices, and a laundry. www.ldschurchtemples.com Stunningly serene aerial footage of the Monticello LDS temple in Monticello, Utah.Shot 100% on the GoPro Hero3 Black Edition with the DJI Phantom 2, Zenmuse H3-3D Gimbal, ImmersionRC Tx, and Black Pearl Monitor... all quite epic.
