14. The Salt Lake City Public Library, Salt Lake City
This library is a striking example of modernist architecture. It was designed by Moshe Safdie, the internationally-acclaimed architect. The interior design is also impressive. There are fireplaces on every one of the four floors, a coffee shop, an art gallery, a trio of glass elevators, a spectacular spiral staircase, and, of course, thousands of books to borrow. Take in the view as you ride the elevator to the rooftop and enjoy the panoramic view from the sky deck. You needn’t be a bookworm to appreciate this library.
15. Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple, Spanish Fork

This temple was inspired by India’s Rajasthani architecture and was built in 1998. It serves the state’s Hindu population. (Bet you never knew there was a Hindu population in Utah, huh?)
Yes, here in the middle of a raw, rugged desert landscape in a place with mainly Mormons, there is a gorgeous, elaborate temple. The 15-acre property includes a lovely lake, a waterfall, outdoor stages, a big pavilion, organic crops, and even some animals. Tours are available every day. Following the tour, you can enjoy the vegetarian buffet, go to the temple room for a short session of kirtan, stroll the grounds on your own, or even visit the gift shop. If you’d like to check out a Hindu festival, you can even experience the Holi and Diwali celebrations.
