Timpanogos Cave National Monument Opens May 19
AMERICAN FORK — Timpanogos Cave National Monument will begin daily tours starting Saturday, May 19, and continue through Monday, September 3. The monument is open only to ranger-guided tours during the summer, since snow usually covers the 1.5-mile trail that climbs about 1,100 feet from the floor of American Fork Canyon to the cave entrance. Tickets can be purchased up to 30 days in advance at Recreation.gov's site. Tickets are $8 for those ages 16 and older; $6 for children 6 to 15; $4 for children 3 to 5; and free for children 2 and under.
Tours are limited to 16 visitors at a time. The tour schedule is subject to staff availability, but they are generally offered every 15 minutes from 7 a.m to 4:45 p.m. Anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The cave temperature is 45 degrees F (7 degrees C). A light jacket and sturdy shoes are recommended. For the memory takers or social media advocates, photography is allowed, but tripods and monopods are not.
