Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral, Salt Lake City Utah
This is Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Salt Lake City. This Greek Orthodox Cathedral was built in 1923, and is located in downtown Salt Lake.
The Cathedral is one of two Greek Orthodox churches in Salt Lake, both of which are part of the Metropolis of Denver. Salt Lake has at least three other Orthodox churches, however, including a Russian Orthodox Church and a Antiochian Orthodox Church. The Greek Orthodox Church in Salt Lake City also has a school.
Of interest, two of the three Greek Orthodox Churches in nearby Wyoming, which are also part of the Metropolis of Denver, are named Holy Family, including the church in Casper.

Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, Rock Springs Wyoming
Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church is located one block from St. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church in Rock Springs in what was probably an ethnic neighborhood at the time the churches were built. In addition to having a sizable Slavic Community, Rock Springs had a sizable Greek community as well, both drawn to the area in the early 20th Century by coal mining.

St. George Greek Orthodox Church, Worland Wyoming
This church was a bit of a surprise as I wasn't aware there was a Greek Orthodox Church in Worland. I don't know anything else about it. The structure is interesting as it's sort of a modified Prairie Gothic structure.

Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church, Cheyenne Wyoming
This is Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I unfortunately do not know the date of the church's construction.
This is one of three Greek Orthodox Churches in Wyoming, and one of four total Orthodox Churches. The church is in the downtown section of Cheyenne. The church is classically styled in the Greek fashion, with the Lord's Prayer carved into a portion of the building, as depicted above.

Assumption of the Theotokos Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Denver
This is the Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Denver Colorado, the Assumption of the Theotokos Greek Orthodox Cathedral. It's in a neighborhood with heavy traffic, so these photographs were taken from a vehicle, making them less than ideal. The Cathedral offices, which look like a Greek Orthodox Church, are on the same ground and are also included here. Theotokos roughly translates as Mother of God, so the Cathedral is dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, Casper Wyoming
This is Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, the Greek Orthodox Church in Casper, Wyoming. This is one of only four Orthodox Churches in Wyoming, and one of only three Greek Orthodox Churches. The other two Greek Orthodox Churches are located in Rock Springs, Wyoming and Cheyenne, Wyoming, communities that obviously had substantial enough Greek communities for the establishment of a church. A fourth Orthodox Church can be found in Gillette Wyoming but it is an Antiochian Orthodox Church.
