Timpanogos Cave is the park's main resource. The cave system is uniquely known for its high abundance of helictites, its coloration in its formations, its display of fault-controlled passages, its alpine surroundings, and unique history.
The 1-1/2 miles long paved trail with a 1,160 feet elevation gain to the cave is also a popular attraction. The trail provides spectular views of the geology of the American Fork Canyon and the expanding cities of the Utah Valley.
Although the park is only 250 acres, it has a respectable diversity in wildlife. The park has sightings recorded for 55 mammal species, 2 fish species, 51 bird species, and 4 reptile species. |
