For most Utah members of the LDS Church, "traveling" for temple worship is not a lengthy task.

Especially along the Wasatch Front, a 20-minute drive will get most people to the nearest temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In some areas, if you're willing to drive 25 or 30 minutes, you could have the choice of two, or even three, temples to attend.

Even off the Wasatch Front, attending a temple session for a Utahn usually doesn't require a full day. Of 522 stakes in Utah, 521 are within a two-hour drive of the nearest temple.

The exception is Escalante.
