Timpanogos Cave Tours

Timpanogos Cave National Monument sits high in the Wasatch Mountains. The cave system consists of three spectacularly decorated caverns. 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 ft in elevation, they are offered incredible views of American Fork Canyon.

Cave tour fees are waived during the mid-August weekend as part of the National Park Service Fee-Free Weekends.

June–October Annually

After the shows, the observation deck on the roof will be open, weather permitting, with telescopes set up for the public to look through.
