Come with us as we hike this fun (difficult) trail and explore some really cool caves on the backside of Mount Timpanogos, with amazing views of the canyon.

This trail is extremely popular, so make sure you book a ticket at least a few days in advance. There are only 16 spots available per tour, and that may be even lower once they open after Covid.
The trail up to Timp Cave is very steep. It's paved the entire way, so there's no issue with footing, but it's listed as strenuous because of how steep it is. Bring lots of water in the summer and take your time, you have plenty. Also remember to bring a jacket because the caves are always chilly. It's refreshing at first, but you're in the cave for an hour - you get cold.
Directions to Timpanogos Cave National Monument:
To get to Timpanogos Cave, just take I-15 to Timpanogos Highway and head east all the way into the mountains. You'll see a the parking lot and the visitor center for Timpanogos Cave National Monument after about 12 minutes from the highway, on your right. The trailhead starts directly from the visitor center and because tickets are limited, there's always plenty of free parking.
Note that this trailhead is only for Timpanogos Cave. The trail to the peak of Mount Timpanogos is on the backside of the mountain. To reach the peak, look up Timpooneke Trailhead. It's another 30 minutes or so past the parking lot for the Cave hike.
If you have any questions about this hike or visiting the cave, ask us in the comments. We respond to everything.
