Timpanogos Cave National Monument

Here we are at the Visitor Center of the Timpanogos Cave. We spent the night in nearby Lehi so we could get an early start on the 1.5 mile hike up the mountain.




By the time we got to the top... Ansel ended up in the backpack so we could make it to our destination on time for our scheduled tour. I thought the 90 minutes they gave us to make it up the hill was more than enough time...but with small legs, it took us just about that amount of time.

Did You Know?Timpanogos Cave is known for its high concentration of helictites - a spiraling cave formation that seems to defy gravity. Helictites are formed when calcite crystals and dissolved impurities are forced out of a tiny central canal in the helictite by hydrostatic pressure.
