The Deseret Peak Temple rises above a 15-acre site in Tooele — a graceful single-spire landmark inspired by the historic tabernacles of early Utah, clad in glass fiber reinforced concrete with native lupine and cliff rose woven throughout its art glass, stonework, and design. Dedicated on November 10, 2024 by President Russell M. Nelson, it holds the remarkable distinction of being the 200th operating temple in the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Our collection of Deseret Peak Temple pictures, art prints, and paintings captures this beautiful temple in a range of styles and sizes.

Announced by President Russell M. Nelson on April 7, 2019, the Deseret Peak Temple had an unusually eventful path to dedication. Originally announced as the Tooele Valley Utah Temple and sited in the community of Erda, the project was relocated and renamed when community opposition emerged over a proposed residential development surrounding the original site — the Church withdrawing its rezoning request entirely rather than create discord. The revised plan placed the temple in the city of Tooele itself, and the groundbreaking was held on May 15, 2021, presided over by Elder Brook P. Hales. The 71,998-square-foot building is the 23rd temple built in Utah and the 1st in Tooele County, finally ending the decades-long practice of members driving over 30 miles to the Salt Lake Temple for ordinance work.
The dedication on November 10, 2024 was historic in multiple dimensions. President Nelson — at 100 years of age, the oldest living prophet in Church history — dedicated the temple personally, declaring: "When I was born, there were just six operating temples in the Church. The Deseret Peak Temple will be the 200th in the world. Just think of it! The Lord is truly hastening His work." He was accompanied by Elder Gary E. Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. During the three-and-a-half-week public open house, 130,911 visitors toured the building. The temple's design draws from Tooele County's natural environment: the exterior art glass features silvery lupine and cliff rose native to the valley, and a dolomite aggregate quarried from the Tooele Valley itself was incorporated into the building's concrete admixture — making the surrounding land literally part of the structure.
The Deseret Peak Temple's position in Tooele Valley — with the Oquirrh Mountains rising to the east and the broad Tooele Valley stretching to the south and west — gives photographers a dramatic and varied setting across all four seasons. The wide Utah skies, vivid desert sunsets, and occasional snowfall create compelling photographic conditions. Our collection features photography and fine art capturing this milestone temple in the natural beauty of Tooele County.
Deseret Peak Temple prints make a meaningful and inspirational gift for members throughout Tooele County — and for anyone who wants to commemorate this historically significant 200th temple. Perfect for weddings, mission homecomings, new homes, and other milestone occasions.
