The Cody Temple stands on Skyline Drive in the northwestern corner of Wyoming — its 101-foot spire rising against the dramatic backdrop of the Absaroka Range just miles from the east entrance to Yellowstone National Park, in one of the most strikingly beautiful settings of any temple in the Church. Wyoming’s third temple and a cherished new landmark for the Big Horn Basin, it opens for a public open house August 27–September 12, 2026 and will be dedicated October 25, 2026. Our collection of Cody Temple pictures, art prints, and paintings captures this beautiful new temple in a range of styles and sizes.

Announced by President Russell M. Nelson on October 3, 2021, at the October 2021 General Conference, and to be dedicated on October 25, 2026 by Elder Clark G. Gilbert, the Cody Temple is the third temple built in Wyoming, following the Star Valley Temple and the Casper Temple. The 9,950-square-foot temple sits on 4.69 acres at 555 Temple View Lane, just west of the Olive Glenn Golf Club on Skyline Drive in Cody. Its compact single-instruction-room, single-sealing-room design with one baptistry reflects the relatively small but deeply committed Latter-day Saint membership of the Big Horn Basin and surrounding region. Approximately one-ninth of Wyoming's population — around 68,000 people — claim membership in the Church. The groundbreaking was held September 27, 2024, presided over by Elder Steven R. Bangerter, who prayed that those in the surrounding community would "feel a spirit of peace wash over them, granting them comfort and assurance that the presence of this temple will bring added joy, prosperity, beauty and unity to their lives."
Cody carries a rich Latter-day Saint cultural heritage. The city is home to the Historic Cody Mural and Museum — located in a Church meetinghouse open to the public during summer months — which features a large domed ceiling with a brilliantly colored mural depicting scenes from Church history, including the Restoration and the westward pioneer migration across Wyoming. Pioneers famously crossed the state in great numbers during the 1840s through 1860s, and their descendants have maintained a faithful presence in Wyoming ever since. The free public open house for the Cody Temple runs from August 27 through September 12, 2026, with no reservations required. The dedicatory session on October 25, 2026 will be broadcast to all units in the temple district.
The Cody Temple's setting on Skyline Drive — with the Absaroka Mountains rising dramatically to the west, the broad Buffalo Bill Reservoir visible in the distance, and the wide Wyoming sky overhead — makes it one of the most scenically dramatic temple settings in the entire Church. Just minutes from the east gate of Yellowstone National Park, the region's natural grandeur is unmatched. Our collection features early photography of this brand-new temple capturing its fresh beauty against the extraordinary landscape of northwestern Wyoming.
Cody Temple prints make a meaningful and inspirational gift for members throughout the Big Horn Basin and northwestern Wyoming — and for anyone celebrating this landmark new temple in the heart of the American West. Perfect for weddings, mission homecomings, new homes, and other milestone occasions.
