Timeline
10:00
Arrive at the Palmyra Temple grounds. While the Temple itself is restricted to members in good standing, the exterior and gardens are open to everyone. Take a slow walk through the grounds to appreciate the landscaping and history of the site where the church was founded.
10:45
Walk north-northeast to Bear Hill for a broader view of the area. It is a 28-minute walk from the Temple. The summit offers a quiet place to rest and look out over the landscape.
11:45
End your visit at Bear Hill. There are no specific opening hours for the hill itself, so you can stay as long as you like before heading back.
Local tip
The Temple grounds are open to all visitors, but the interior is restricted. Bear in mind that only members of the Church of Jesus Christ who are in good standing are permitted inside the Temple building.
