Lantern Cave Tours

Step back in time and experience Timpanogos Cave lit only by the flicker of lanterns on this ranger-guided tour to celebrate 100 years as a national monument! Discover what early explorers experienced as they traveled through the dark passages of the cave. Hear stories of early exploration and marvel at the cave’s geology by the glow of your lantern.

The Timpanogos Cave System is accessed by hiking a strenuous 1.5 mile (2.4 km) paved trail with an elevation gain of 1,100 vertical feet. After completing the hike, visitors will see all three caves on a ranger-led tour. The route through the cave is paved, with several flights of stairs.
