Timpanogos Cave

American Fork Canyon
Mount Timpanogos
Alpine Utah

$3.00 to get in to American Fork Canyon
If you have a National Parks Pass, they will waive the entrance fee, but you have to tell them that you are going to Timpanogos Cave.

$6.00 to get a pass for the tour guide. (I would pay $12 to not have the guide, but I understand the guide is more like a security guard protecting the fragile rock structures).

The last time I hiked Timpangos Cave I was about 3 or 4 years old.

TImpanogos Cave was discovered in 1887 because all the lower trees had been chopped down in the canyon, and a guy had to climb half a mile up the ridge just to find wood.
(He followed cougar tracks the rest of the way). His name was Martin Hansen, and his section was so terribly looted that the people that discovered the second cave kept it a secret.
