Saints, Sites, and Settlements Tours 

Come with us as we explore the history of the Latter-day Saints in these valleys of the Rocky Mountains. There is so much history and so many fascinating stories that took place right here in Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming. We have organized short, inexpensive tours that will go out and explore, sites, settlements, temples, tabernacles, and cemeteries as we learn our local history–what happened, and who made it happen.

Each tour will travel by bus to various places where we will explore those sites and hear the stories taught by missionaries and local guides. Glenn will lead the tours and teach along the way. Most of the tours will be out and back in one day, thus saving the costs of expensive hotels and restaurants. You can pick and choose which tours you would like to take, or you can sign up for all and save money. You are invited to come and learn the rich and colorful history that took place in your own backyard.

All trip itineraries are subject to change as per current conditions, timing, group preference and at the sole discretion of the trip leader.  However, each day will be chock full of stories and histories of the various areas.

This tour will leave from This is the Place Heritage Park and travel down I-15 to St George. We will make as many stops as time will allow. We want to stop at Cove Fort and the Old Capital at Fillmore. We will spend the night in St. George. The following day we will experience St. George Live. From there we will spend the day exploring the history of the area. That night we will enjoy a catered dinner. The next day, we depart St. George and return to Salt Lake via Highway 89. We will pass through the settlements of Panguitch, Circleville, up through the Valley of the San Pete, the Manti Temple, and finally back to I-15 and to your car, parked at the This is the Place. We will again enjoy a catered dinner and head home. 

This tour begins near the pioneer settlement of Mosquito Springs, west of Ogden. We take a bus north through the beautiful Cache Valley area known as the Salt Lake Cutoff Trail. Making our way through Logan, Brigham City, and Farmington, we’ll stop at small towns along the way. This area is rich in pioneer history, sites, and stories. We’ll end the night with a catered dinner and send you home to sleep in your own bed. Dinner and lunch are included in the price of the trip.

This walking tour will encompass the whole of the Salt Lake Cemetery. Utah’s pioneer and modern history is full of men and women of faith and character. Their memories are preserved here in stone and their stories will be forever preserved in your hearts after spending the day with them. Lunch is included in this tour.

This tour has received rave reviews and gives you the ability to go in a small group with Glenn. We start at This is the Place Heritage Park and follow the footsteps of those pioneers who first entered the Valley in the summer of 1847. We will visit the last miles of the Pioneer Trail, the monument where Brigham Young declared, “This is the right place. Drive on!” We walk through Salt Lake City and visit the Conference Center, the Tabernacle, City Creek Center, Brigham Young’s family cemetery, and Ensign Peak.
