Timpanogos Cave Trail

We planned a hike to Stewart Falls in the Alpine Loop through Utah Highway #92, but by the surprise the #92 is closed that day at Pine Hollow. Then Margaret and Clara decided to visit the Timpanogos Cave. This is a beautiful tail and we enjoyed it!


This is east side of Mount Timpanogos [Elevation: 11,749 feet or 3,581 M], from Pine Hollow, Alpine Loop.


Here is the American Fork River near the Monument (largest water level since 2004 to my memory). This year Utah has a lot of snow to melt.


The rock formations, just another side of the canyon, near the Monument.


Because there is a lot of visitors, so we had to wait 50 minute to go on the trail.


This warning sign indicates: 1.5 miles of trail, elevation change is 1065 feet or 329 M.


The mountain rocks in the American Fork Canyon.


This is the first man-made tunnel in the Timpanogos Cave Trail.
