Timpanogos Caves



My geology class went to Timp Caves back in the day. It was one of the most awful hikes with one of the best rewards. Ye olde knees were not happy with the insanity of the insane incline a mile up and then the trek down. But I'll tell you what, the ice packs were worth it. I'd go again in a second.

So, go my friends. Hike the cave and see the Heart of wonderment (I can't remember the real name of it, it involves some legend about a Native American woman. You need to get the guide named Nancy, if you don't then wait til she's there. I'm telling you it's not the same without her. I think she's been living in the mountains for about 40 years or something. Plus I remembered her name after 3 years; what does that tell you?

It's open Mid May to Mid October. So don't go bounding over there quite yet. But bound once Mid May hits you like a belly flop on a still pool.
