Grand Junction Temple

The Grand Junction Colorado Temple is the third temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the state of Colorado, following those in Denver (1986) and Fort Collins (2016).

The building stands out for its Pedras Salgadas granite cladding, which brings warmth and harmony to the high-desert landscape of Colorado. The temple incorporates elements that reflect the local nature, such as the claret cup cactus, the rock rose, and the peach blossom.

With a design that celebrates the landscape and flora of Grand Junction, the temple symbolizes the connection between faith, nature, and Colorado’s spiritual heritage.
