Timpanogos Cave National Monument

July 5, 2023

This cave is another one that you need a ranger lead tour in order to get into the cave. They only operate tours for a couple months in the summer, so the tickets are sold out at least a week in advance. There is a 1.5 mile hike up to the cave entrance which is rather steep and hot in the limited shade. By contrast, the cave is about 45 degrees. Some people on the tour were very uncomfortable if they did not have a jacket. This cave has lots of really nice formations that look like squiggly sea creatures. These are only found in a few caves around the world. Additional formations were present as well and still in mostly pristine condition.
