A few things to make your visit to Timpanogos Cave National Monument more enjoyable:

1. Timpanogos Caves may only be entered with a ranger on a guided tour. Cave tours are offered daily throughout the summer season and tickets must be purchased at the visitor center.  

2. Cave tours are 45-60 minutes long and are limited to 20 persons per tour. Cave tours often sell out especially on holidays and weekends. Tickets for the cave tour can be purchased up to 30 days in advance by telephone. See Fees and Reservations for more information.

3. The cave temperature is 45 degrees Fahrenheit. A light jacket and closed-toe walking shoes are recommended.

4. Access to the caves requires hiking a 1 1/2 mile paved trail. Because of the steepness and incline of the cave trail, strollers and other wheeled vehicles (including wheelchairs) are not allowed. Visitors may bring a baby backpack for hiking to the caves with their infants; but they will be asked to leave their backpacks outside while they tour the caves infants in arms. 

5. Take plenty of drinking water with you on the hike to the caves. Temperatures can reach over 100 degrees during the hot summer months.

6. No pets are allowed on the cave trail or in the caves.

7. No food, drink, candy, tobacco or gum is allowed in the cave. Flash photography is allowed, but tripods are not.
