Tel: (801) 756-5238

This remarkable cave system near American Fork, Utah, is full of geological treasures including helictites, (think of funky straw-like rock formations), "cave bacon," "cave popcorn," and many other mesmerizing rock formations. Most of the incredibly elaborate rock structures appear as though they were painstakingly sculpted by man.
Before reaching the cave opening, visitors will endure a somewhat strenuous hike along the side of a mountain. There are three main sections available to the public: Hansen Cave, Middle Cave, and Timpanogos Cave. After journeying though the extraordinary caves visitors can also take part in other hikes, bird watching, fishing, and wildlife observation.

Timpanogos Cave National Monument sits high in the Wasatch Mountains. The cave system consists of three spectacularly-decorated caverns. Each cavern has unique colors and formations. Helictites and anthodites are just a few of the many dazzling formations to be found in the many chambers. As visitors climb to the cave entrance, on a hike gaining over 1,000 feet in elevation, they are offered incredible views of American Fork Canyon.
