Located high on the steep rocky slopes of American Fork Canyon in the shadow of Mt. Timpanogos in Utah's Wasatch Range are three limestone caves: Hansen Cave, Middle Cave and Timpanogos Cave. These exquisite caverns are decorated with an elaborate display of helictites, anthodites, and other formations in a variety of colors. Timpanogos Cave National Monument preserves these caves and their fragile underground wonders for you and future generations to enjoy.

 The Timpanogos Cave System is accessed by hiking a strenuous 1.5-mile paved trail with an elevation gain of 1,100 vertical feet. After completing the 90-minute hike, visitors will experience all three caves on an hour-long ranger-led tour. The route through the cave is paved, lighted, and has several flights of stairs.
