Description

Heber Valley is a picturesque rural mountain valley located in Wasatch County, about 40 miles from Salt Lake City, near world-renowned ski resorts and state parks.

History

In 1858, President Brigham Young instructed Saints to build a road from Provo to Heber. In the 1840s, Elder Heber C. Kimball of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles helped to convert many of the first English settlers to the Church through his missionary service. These converts settled the valley and participated in the first ward created in Heber.

Announcement

On 3 October 2021, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct the Heber Valley Utah Temple.
