This past weekend we decided to take a trip to a national monument that is only about 20 minutes away from our house called Timpanogos Caves up American Fork Canyon. We got up to the base of the trail at around 1 and they only had tickets left for the last tour of the day which is at 5:30, so we had to burn about 3 hours before heading up the trail. For the first hour we drove up the canyon to a few reservoirs (sorry no pics) and then up on the Alpine Loop, which is closed still because of snow. But even with all that we still had to go home for about an hour.
After a long mile and a half climb up the hill we made it to the entrence of the cave. Just for all to know in a mile and a half you rise about a thousand feet, not an easy climb but we did it in 45 minutes.
After a little wait we got in a little early and had a blast ducking and squezing through some areas, especially Cass.
Here are some awesome photos we took.

| Randi and the "Heart of Timpanogos" |

| Because of some small areas you got to squeeze through Cass had to turn the bag to the front. |

| Stalactite and Stalagmite. |

| This is a tight area Cass had to squeeze through. |
We both had a blast and would recommend this beautiful cave to anyone, and there are even small children that can do the hike.
Pretty sweet.
