The Rexburg Idaho Temple occupies a hill above Brigham Young University–Idaho (BYU-I). The temple belongs to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. On top of the temple spire, a gold-leafed statute of the angel Moroni, a prophet from the Book of Mormon, raises his trumpet, bringing the height of the temple to nearly 169 feet. Seven hundred art-glass windowpanes decorate the temple, and a particularly stunning set faces east above the temple entrance. http://www.mormontemples.org/eng/temple/rexburg-idaho

Lower and Upper Falls: Both are free. 50 minutes via US-20 E. At Upper Mesa Falls, a thunderous curtain of water – as tall as a 10-story building – pours over remnants of an ancient volcanic super-eruption. A mile south, Lower Mesa Falls repeats the performance, the river continually chiseling away at the solidified ash and lava. The beautiful Upper and Lower Mesa Falls are the last prominent waterfalls on the Snake River unaffected by manmade influences. A scenic walking path leads to excellent viewpoints.
