Route
The idea for doing this temple walk came from the John Rowe Moyle story. Brother Moyle
was a stonecutter for the Salt Lake Temple; he carved “Holiness to the Lord”.
Brother Moyle walked from Alpine to the Salt Lake Temple weekly for many
decades. Brother Moyle died before the Salt Lake Temple was complete. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yXylS9ujxc&feature=related
