Mt. Timpanogos Cave
Enjoy a scenic drive to the trailhead leading 6,730 feet to the Timpanogos Cave system. Tour departs at 9:00 am.
Your day begins at Midway Adventure Company where you will meet your guides and enjoy a beautiful scenic drive through the Alpine loop. This 20 mile drive winds through rugged alpine canyons of the Wasatch Range offering amazing views of Mount Timpanogos and other glacier-carved peaks. Once you reach the trail head of the Timpanogos Cave system, you will begin your 1.5 mile hike to the cave entrance; the 1,160ft elevation gain offers stunning views of American Fork Canyon. You will then have the opportunity to explore the cave system consisting of three spectacular decorated caverns. Helictites and anthodites are just a couple of the many dazzling formations found in the chambers. Upon completion of the cave system you will descend back to the trail head where a buffet lunch will be waiting for you. The drive back through the canyon will give you one last chance to take in the beauty of the spanning mountain ranges surrounding Midway.
