All my life I have loved temples! I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When I was a little girl and too young to go inside the temple, whenever we went on a family trip that was near a temple, I persuaded my parents to take a detour so that I could touch the temple. I have a goal to attend all of the temples in the United States. So far I have been to 71 temples, including eight international ones. I have so many more that I want to visit! This blog is about my visits to the temples, as well as the activities that I did in the area where I was attending the temple. The sidebar contains an alphabetical list of the temples that I have attended so far, so view the blog in website view so that you can see the full list of temples. Click on each photo to read about my experience at specific temples & places to see nearby each one.

Gilbert Arizona Temple

The Gilbert Arizona Temple

The Gilbert Arizona Temple was dedicated in 2014. I first visited it in July of 2015. It was my 26th temple. The Gilbert Temple is special to our family because two of my brothers lived in Gilbert when the temple was built! One of my brothers still lives there. I have been there a couple times since then, including for my niece's wedding in January of 2025. The grounds are spectacular! That is probably my favorite thing about this temple.

My 26th Temple

The Gilbert Arizona Temple is located at 3301 S Greenfield Rd in Gilbert. Its google maps location is here: Gilbert Arizona Temple

The 2015 Trip

On our trip in 2015 we had a great time hanging out with cousins in Gilbert. On the way home we went hiking in Moab, of course! We almost always go to Moab on the way to or from Arizona. It was fun to go to the temple with my brothers and parents while we were in Gilbert on this trip.
