Montpelier Idaho Temple

The Montpelier Idaho Temple was my 79th Temple

For a few years I drove past the Montpelier Idaho Temple site as I traveled from Wyoming to Logan and entered briefly into Idaho near Bear Lake.  The Montpelier Temple is only 30 minutes from Bear Lake.  It reminds me a lot of the Casper Temple, although it's quite a bit bigger.  

My favorite part of the Montpelier Temple is the baptistery.  There are a lot of other beautiful parts of the temple that I loved, including the staircases with the gold trim along the edges.  The Celestial Room is also very beautiful, as are the stained glass windows.  The grounds are immaculate and very well cared for.  I love the variety of colors and textures.

The Montpelier Temple is located here:  Montpelier Idaho Temple.  The address is 534 Washington Street.  

This Papa's Fine Chocolates shop is right next door to the temple.  My husband purchased some chocolate from there.  It was good, although pretty pricey.

Where to eat in Montpelier

We were looking for somewhere fun to eat in Montpelier, and there aren't a lot of options.  It's only a half hour from Bear Lake, so you could drive there to eat.  We did find this fun restaurant and the food was good.
