The West Temple is situated two miles northwest of Springdale, Utah and two miles west of the park headquarters. It is one of the notable landmarks in the park. The nearest higher peak is Windy Peak, to the north. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of the Virgin River.Climbing Routes on The West Temple
