Timpanogos Cave Tour
The cave is beautiful, I wish these photos did it justice. They have lights along the way that illuminate the rock. The tour guide talks about the history of the caves as well as a bit of the science behind it. There are in fact, three caves and a few cave "lakes" (like in the photo above).
There are so many different kinds of formations inside the caves, there are some that look like popcorn, some are mint green, some look like bacon, and we can't leave out the "heart" of the cave.
The cave tour lasted about an hour, but I could have gone much longer. They do an "advanced" cave tour that lasts about 3 hours, I completely plan on doing that. When you go, be sure to bring a jacket as it's cold in the cave. There were only a couple tight spaces where one who's claustrophobic might get stressed, overall it's very roomy.
(we loved the giant wood doors that led in and out of the cave. like a mountain fortress.)
We were incredibly lucky and the rain let up before we exited the cave, but it gave the wildflowers the fresh drink they needed and they seemed even more vibrant than they did on the hike up.
If you're in Utah please do this hike and tour. It's an incredible experience. The hike- in total, including the cave; is about 3 miles and doable for almost anyone. If you go, let me know, I want to hear about your experience!
